BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – A driver on Interstate 95 in Brevard County struck a Florida Highway Patrol trooper’s cruiser and a deputy’s patrol vehicle, according to FHP.
The crash occurred northbound near mile marker 185, FHP said Saturday morning on social media.
Photos from the scene show the two damaged vehicles. The FHP cruiser’s rear appears crushed, with its trunk lid stuck open, while the nearby sheriff’s-office patrol vehicle sports an even more mangled rear end.
The sheriff’s office said in a statement to News 6 that their deputy was not injured in the crash.
FHP’s post states there were injuries from the crash, but that they were non-life-threatening.
“This is why the #MoveOver law exists. Slow down. Move over. Lives depend on it," the post states.
Further details were not immediately available, such as who specifically was hurt and if anyone will face criminal charges in the crash.
News 6 has requested more information and is waiting to hear back.
