Auto Accident Serious Injuries
Auto Accident Serious Injuries on Jacksonville’s I-95 at Church Street. A man was seriously injured in a multi-vehicle car crash. The auto accident victim had wrecked his car in a single vehicle car roll over. He was able to exit his car and report the incident to the Jacksonville Police Department. While in the process of reporting his auto accident to a police officer another driver lost control and plowed into the median striking the driver and 2 police officers. The police officers are listed in stable condition, the driver that was struck outside of his vehicle is in critical condition. The driver of the second car not injured. The Jacksonville Police Officers hit by the out-of-control vehicle believe that speed and wet roads may have been a factor. At Barnes and Cohen our experience shows that speed and distracted driving often play a role in serious auto accidents.
Prevent serious auto Accidents Move Over Slow Down
Move Over – Slow Down
Florida Law requires you to Move over a lane when you can safely do so for stopped law enforcement officers, emergency vehicles, sanitation workers, utility services, tow truck drivers, wreckers, maintenance or construction vehicles. When you see warning lights or signs you are required to move over when you can do so safely or slow down 20 mph less than the speed limit. Violating this law could result in a fine. In the Jacksonville Florida Auto Accident this week a man was seriously injured and 2 police officers were injured when a vehicle failed to slow down and move over.
