A North Carolina state trooper suffered minor injuries, but his patrol car was smashed up after a car slammed into him during a traffic stop Thursday on I-40 in Newton.
Officials said a driver slammed into the back of the trooper's patrol car along I-40.
Troopers say it's tough to catch drivers who don't follow the "Move Over Law,” but attorneys say those who do almost always have to pay a $250 fine and court costs.
"The district attorney’s offices around the state that I've seen have taken these cases very seriously because of the serious problem that it has presented,” local attorney Joseph Ledford said.
Troopers say they may consider doing more operations focusing on the “Move Over Law" to raise more awareness.
