Mississippi: Man Fights for 'Move Over Law'
In 2007, Mississippi lawmakers passed a Slow Down and Move Over law in hopes of preventing those types of deaths. However, in a recent poll, more than 70 percent of those who responded had not even heard of the law, but a Hancock County first responder hopes to change that after his brush with death. The owner of Moss Towing says an 18-wheeler traveling at 70 mph side-swiped one of his tow trucks over the weekend, causing major damage. "I had just stepped away from the truck. It could have easily been me," said the tow truck driver, David Perks.
