Baker County Sheriff's Office issued the following announcement on Apr. 22.
This is a powerful reminder of why the Move Over Law is so important. Help protect those who protect you!
The Move Over Law (ORS 811.147) states that if you are approaching any type of emergency vehicle, tow truck, or roadside assistance vehicle which is stopped on the roadside with emergency lights activated, you must:
-Move over into another available lane.
-If you can't safely change lanes, slow down to a speed that is at least 5 mph below the posted or designated speed of the roadway.
-In all cases, the driver must try to provide as much room as possible for the emergency vehicle, tow truck, or roadside assistance vehicle.
We are grateful that no injuries were sustained during this crash.
