Oklahoma Highway Patrol lieutenant was struck by one of his own

An Oklahoma Highway Patrol lieutenant critically injured during a chase Friday night was struck by another trooper's vehicle.

Lt. D. Heath Meyer, 43, is still in critical condition, Department of Public Safety Commissioner Michael Thompson said Monday. Authorities declined to release further information on his injuries.

Meyer was out of his patrol car putting out stop sticks near I-35 and N 27 in Moore when he was struck by a patrol vehicle. Two troopers trying to avoid the stop sticks collided, and one of their vehicles then struck Meyer, Capt. Ronnie Hampton said.

The driver of the fleeing vehicle, Dangelo Ladon Burgess, 28, was taken into custody Friday night.
