RALEIGH, N.C. — A North Carolina Highway Patrol trooper walked away from an accident without a scratch Thursday after he lost control of his cruiser while chasing a speeder on Interstate 540.
Police said Trooper Hans Elefsson was chasing a speeder from the newly opened section of I-540 onto Buffaloe Road when his Ford Crown Victoria sedan slid down an embankment and into a drainage area next to the highway.
The suspect escaped, police said.
