A Nevada Highway trooper was investigating an accident scene but nearly became a part of the scene himself.

It happened around 5 p.m., Wed., when a trooper responding to a rollover crash was taking measurements of the scene on the off ramp at US 395 and Clear Acre. An Isuzu was heading down the off ramp but slowed down as it approached the trooper. A Chrysler, driven by 41-year-old Jolie Hoyt, saw the Isuzu too late and swerved to avoid hitting the SUV but right into the path of the trooper.

Luckily, the trooper darted out of the way in time to avoid Hoyt right before she rear-ended the SUV.

Hoyt tested positive for Methamphetamine and Amphetamines and was placed under arrest for DUI drugs and for failing to use due care; both misdemeanors, as well as being under the influence of a controlled substance; a felony.

She was booked into the Washoe County Detention Facility with a total bail of $1,895.

Although Hoyt's passenger, 48-year-old Robert Price, walked away from the accident with a scraped head, he was also unlucky. He was arrested at the scene and charged with possessing 113 grams of marijuana in four separate 1 ounce quantities for sales and for not wearing a seat-belt.

His total bail was $2,487.
