The crash occurred just outside Carey, a village of about 4,000 residents in the northwest part of the state.

Baldridge, who was driving, and Trooper Mark McLaughlin, a passenger, were responding to an aid call from a Wyandot County sheriff's deputy when their car went off the right side of the roadway and rolled several times, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said. Both troopers appear to have been wearing seat belts, it said.

Baldridge, had graduated from the highway patrol academy in December, died in the crash.  McLaughlin, 33 and a highway patrol veteran, was injured and was hospitalized in fair condition.

The highway patrol said it was mourning the loss of Baldridge and praying for McLaughlin's recovery from his injuries.  The cause of the crash was being investigated.
