Move Over: Forsyth Sheriff Reminds Drivers

FORSYTH COUNTY, GA — The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office took an unfortunate event and made it a learning moment on their Facebook page.

"We are really glad to hear the officer wasn't hurt! MOVE OVER folks, please. (If you can't then slow down greatly,)" reads the post.

"In case you need a visual, here is a reminder of why we ask motorists to move over an extra lane when we are working on the highway," continues the post. "Fortunately, the officer was out of the vehicle assisting another motorist when this car was struck. The driver was arrested for DUI, Habitual Violator, Move Over violation, and Failure to maintain Lane."
