Trooper Vameng Yang had just gotten back in his squad and was attempting to move off the road to a safer location. He had just put his seat belt on when he observed a Jeep spin out behind him and strike his squad. Trooper Yang was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
“Moving over keeps everyone safe, not just law enforcement,” The Minnesota State Patrol said in a statement. “When driving on a road with two or more lanes, drivers must move over one full lane away from a stopped emergency vehicle — tow trucks, too. Reduce speed if you are unable to safely move over a lane.”
