“MOVE OVER” 3 Florida Officers Struck By Highway Traffic Over the Weekend

This past weekend, three Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office officers were transported to local hospitals with injuries sustained from traffic crashes.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, all three incidents could have been prevented had drivers paid attention to their surroundings.

Move over means, move over.

“The MOVE OVER law means just that – MOVE OVER for stopped law enforcement, emergency, sanitation, utility service vehicles, and tow trucks/wreckers. If you cannot safely MOVE OVER, slow to 20mph below the posted speed limit,” said JSO in a tweet.

The officer involved in the accident below, was blocking the interstate to prevent drivers from hitting the deer.

A driver failed to MOVE OVER and struck the officer’s vehicle.
