A Steamboat Springs Police Department officer was injured when he responded to the scene of a Colorado Department of Transportation plow truck Tuesday that reportedly caught fire. The officer was checking on the plow driver’s status when one of the truck’s tires exploded, according to officials. The officer was treated at UCHealth Yampa Valley Medical Center in Steamboat and has since been released. “I want to thank all the community members who have reached out about the welfare of our officer,” Steamboat Police Commander Annette Dopplick said in a statement. “We appreciate everyone’s concern and well wishes. We are grateful that this didn’t turn into something more serious for everyone involved.” Crews with Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue also responded to the scene at around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.
