Castle Rock, Colo. (KDVR) – Drivers who do not obey the “Move Over” law in Colorado placing law enforcement officers and others at risk of roads.
The law requires drivers at least one lane transfer when approaching emergency vehicles with clear lights. The Castle Rock Fox31 was noticeable that a noticeable periodic car was running with emergency lights when another driver crashed at the end of the back on Tuesday, causing fire to the car.
The officer was standing near, but he was not injured.
Trooper Sherri Mendez of the Colorado Fox31 patrol that it was almost shocked by drivers who do not abide by the law while carrying out her work.
She said: “It looks fast and loud, and you can sometimes feel the car,” she said.
Mendez says that after moving to the law it is very important to save lives on the road and drivers should slow down and move when they see any vehicle on the side of the road with clear lights.
She said: “We are doing our work and expecting others to do their job and be responsible and move for us.”
The problematic found that at least three incidents per month occurred between August and November 2024 as a result of the news of the drivers on the law, including a fatal accident in Al -Dhahabi, who killed a 33 -year -old police officer, who served in the army as a flight officer and a Black Hawk pilot.
Another officer was seriously injured. The driver was arrested in this case due to a complex murder, a driving under influence and the violation of the “movement” law.
Mendez says that the slogan of the state patrol is “the place of the final rest of anyone on the road” and encourages drivers to consider the damage that can come from failure to consider the well -being of others by following the law.
“Think about everyone on the shoulder of the road like their family members – among us,” she said.
The Colorado State patrol is still being shattered in Castle Rock.
