INDIANA TROOPER ACCIDENTS HIGHLIGHT MOVE-OVER LAW

An Indiana State Trooper is in serious condition after a crash Wednesday morning during a traffic stop. It happened around 9:30a.m. on I-i-465 near Indianapolis.

Police say Trooper Henry Kalina pulled a car over. He was standing on the passenger's side of the vehicle when a box truck crashed into the car. The car barreled into Trooper Kalina and sent him flying onto the highway berme.

It's the second time in as many days a state trooper has been hit on Indiana roads. On Tuesday, a similar situation in played out in Southern Indiana's Daviess County. A semi side-swiped a trooper patrol car and sent six people to the hospital. Everyone was ultimately ok, but police slapped the truck driver with a ticket for breaking the state's Move-Over Law.

That law simply says people need to switch lanes or slow way down for emergency vehicles with their lights on. Included in the law are tow trucks and state highway vehicles, too. Indiana State Police say the law is easy to follow with a little common sense. They say following at a safe distance goes hand in hand with the Move-Over law. They say many violators claim to have not seen a pulled over vehicle, because the car they were following was blocking their view.

Police do what they call "blitzes", targeting Move-Over law violators. Statewide they that a couple times a year. Police at the Indiana State Police Post in Fort Wayne say they are always on the look out for violators. A ticket for breaking the law could cost you up to $10,000.
