- On November 26, 2022, at approximately 11:30 p.m., Deputy Latham conducted a traffic stop in the 2500 block of SW Highway 484, in Ocala. After contact was made with the driver, the occupants agreed to exit the vehicle while further investigation was conducted. Corporal Marton responded to assist Deputy Latham with his investigation. While standing by with the occupants of the stopped vehicle, Corporal Marton encouraged them to move onto the shoulder of the roadway in order to be out of harm’s way if a passing vehicle were to hit either of the patrol vehicles nearby.
Moments later, Corporal Marton returned to the passenger side of his patrol vehicle and utilized his in-car computer to gather information about the occupants of the vehicle. While standing in the door jamb, another passing vehicle crashed into the rear, driver side of his patrol vehicle. Although he was thrown to the ground by the impact, Corporal Marton was uninjured and speedily responded to render aid to the driver and passenger who were injured.
While it is unfortunate that this accident happened at all, it serves as an important reminder of the need for Florida’s “Move Over” Law. Fortunately, no one lost their life in this case, but far too many emergency workers lose their lives due to the failure of motorists to obey this law.
Florida Statute s. 316.126(1)(b) contains Florida’s Move Over Law. This law applies when you are driving and approach an emergency vehicle (like law enforcement or fire department vehicles), sanitation vehicle, utility service vehicle, wrecker, or road and bridge maintenance or construction vehicle parked or performing tasks on the roadside. When this happens, you need to move over or slow down. If there are two or more lanes of travel, you have to get out of the lane closest to the vehicle, provided it can be done safely. If there is one lane of travel, or if you cannot safely get out of the lane closest to the vehicle, you must slow down - and we mean slow way down. If the speed limit on the road is 25 miles per hour or more, you must slow down to 20 miles per hour under the posted speed limit. If the speed limit is 20 miles per hour or less, you cannot drive faster than 5 miles per hour.

Please, do your part to keep emergency workers and others safe, and remember to Move Over!
literally potentially saved his life
"What'd I tell ya boys!" GOLD 🤣
What’d I tell you 😂😂😂 he’s a smart dude.
Great Advice!!
wow
Was that a DUI drunk intoxicated driver?
I do apologize for the idiot comments from some of our fine citizens that we already can tell have visited the 5 star hotel.
That was either good insight by the officer 👮🏼♂️or he just jinxed them , so so lucky nobody was killed by a reckless driving just trying to see what was going on
Drunk or distracted or both? I guess the squad's lights blinded them.
How about saving lives by not pulling people over for petty stuff.
M.O.R.O.N. Sweet new youtube name for you free of charge, bud.
Joe Rifkin 100% agrees with you! If the trooper had not tried to stop him for a tag violation, he'd of been free to kill more than the 17 women he already did with #17 in the back of his pickup.
Dumbest comment ever
The moral of the story is don't think your job is to fuck with people, go through people's stuff for no reason, and find any excuse to take their money or put them in a cage, and bad stuff may not happen.
Is that what you took away from this? 🥴
Why did they stop the vehicle in the first place.
Traffic violation
So the police can make a Tik Tok video
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
