Georgia’s Move-Over Law

Georgia State Patrol Lt. Crystal Zion told ABC News that the crash stresses the importance of Georgia’s Move Over Law.

“It takes out the distractions of driving fast or phones or other people in the car. Basically, you know, when you see those lights to slow down, move over,” Zion said.

The driver's potential charges are unknown as they remain hospitalized with serious injuries. Meanwhile, the deputy who was injured by the debris has been released from the hospital and is in good condition.
