Ohio troopers share video of semi truck’s move over violation that sheared mirror off car during traffic stop

The Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) shared dash cam and body cam video of a semi truck striking the mirror of a car that was pulled over by a trooper as a reminder to move over for emergency vehicles.

OSHP said on November 26 that the video was captured on I-75 North in Wapakoneta, Ohio.

Troopers say that a passing semi truck struck the mirror of a pulled-over vehicle after the truck driver failed to move over or slow down.

“This was a split second that could have seriously injured our trooper or those pulled over in the vehicle,” OSHP said. “This is more than a law, it’s a lifesaving choice. When you see flashing lights of any color, move over or slow down.”
