Two Pennsylvania state police troopers and another person were killed early Monday when they were struck and killed by a driver on Interstate 95 in South Philadelphia.
The troopers, Trooper Martin F. Mack and Trooper Branden T. Sisca, were trying to get a man who was walking on the highway into their patrol SUV when they were all struck by the driver, state police said.
Troopers Mack and Sisca had pulled over the driver who hit them a little while earlier, law enforcement sources told NBC10.
The driver had been stopped on suspicion of DUI. Then, the troopers got the call for a man on the highway and had to leave the driver.

So maybe he hit them out of retaliation for pulling him over??? He must have really been impaired. Not sure they should have left him for the other guy.
