“Officer Eggum’s family continues to express their appreciation for all the support during these difficult times but ask for their privacy as Kade works to make a full recovery,” the department said in a social media post.
Eggum has been with the department for just over a year, authorities say.
He was hit while responding to a report of an unconscious person. As he merged into the northbound lanes of Interstate 35E from Pilot Knob Road shortly after 5 a.m. on March 14, he collided with a northbound semi-truck, sending his squad into the center median.
No other injuries were reported.
