Tennessee Highway Patrol investigators believe they have located the driver and tractor trailer that nearly took a door off a trooper's cruiser and drove away.
Trooper Charles Melhorn had just completed a stop on I-75 in McMinn County Saturday night when a truck swept past, hitting Melhorn's open door and nearly taking it off the car. Melhorn was uninjured.
