The Ohio State Highway Patrol has released video of a close call during a traffic stop to remind drivers to move over for emergency vehicles.
This video is captioned, “A driver and trooper narrowly avoid injury Tuesday when the vehicle stopped was struck by passing traffic near Marysville. The box truck was struck and pushed onto the shoulder by another vehicle changing lanes. This serves as a reminder that drivers should always slow down and move over as they approach stopped public safety vehicles or roadside workers.”
This instance is a perfect example of why drivers should slow down or move over for emergency and law enforcement vehicles.
