The crash happened on Interstate 95 near Sandy Spring Road just after midnight Friday, Maryland State Police officials say. At that time, two troopers, 42-year-old Manuel Moreno and 34-year-old John Cabrera, were investigating a crash on the highway. The officers had set out flares and returned to their car to file reports.

Shortly after that, a car driven by Arcenia Macklin, a 48-year-old Laurel resident, went through the flares and rear-ended the State Police cruiser.

Moreno and Cabrera were both taken to Prince George's Hospital Center, where they were treated for non-life threatening injuries. Macklin was charged with driving under the influence.
