New York State Police Car Struck By Driver On The Palisades Parkway

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY — A New York State Police car was hit from behind on the Palisades Parkway at 11 a.m. Monday.

The trooper and a southbound motorist who had been pulled over following a traffic infraction were partially off the road in Stony Point around mile marker 29.7.

While no one was hurt this time, police asked drivers to please move over or slow down if you are unable to move into the other lane.

The New York Move Over Law requires drivers to be extra cautious when approaching an emergency or hazard vehicle that is stopped on the side of the road with its emergency lights on. Drivers are expected to move one full lane away from the stopped vehicle. If it is not possible to do so safely, then the driver must reduce speed as it approaches the stopped vehicle.
