Fortunately, the deputy was not hurt, but officials say this highlights the need to move over for law enforcement.

"It’s important that people watch where they’re driving. Follow the Move Over Law. Reduce speed by 20 mph if they can’t get out of that lane. If they can’t move over," retired Florida Highway Patrol Chief Joe Lopez says.
