The warning comes after a box truck sideswiped an unmarked CSP vehicle earlier this week. It happened on Meadows Parkway on Highway 85 near Castle Rock and both vehicles were only about 10 mph. The trooper wasn't hurt.

The box truck driver was based out of Colorado Springs. That person was cited for careless driving due to being distracted.
