Yes, but the drug test is the responsibility of THE COMPANY, and must be administered within 2 hours of the incident for alcohol, or 32 hours in the case of drug suspicion.
It was NOT in the purview of the cop, or the hospital for that matter, to obtain the sample, period.
“But he’s got a badge”.
FEH!
Never tell the following people what “they are going to do”. The pizza guy, doctors, nurses, waitresses or waiters, the testaraunt chef, or the counter people at McDonalds. Your arrogance will have consequences.
From what I read, this cop was acting on a request from the Logan, UT PD ( where the accident occurred). While there may be Federal Laws regarding trucker blood samples, it does not appear that federal law requirements were driving the blood draw.
