On Thursday evening, August 24, three law enforcement officers were injured having been hit by cars in separate accidents in Montgomery County.
According to fire officials the three separate collisions occurred just before 6.30 p.m. on both of the northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 270 nearby Rockledge Drive.
Maryland State Police said that a Montgomery County sheriff had rear-ended a vehicle and so a Montgomery County police officer went to check on the accident. However, the officer’s vehicle was hit by another car. Then a Maryland state trooper arrived on the scene and his car was struck by yet another vehicle.
All three of the law enforcement personnel involved suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The state of Maryland has a law known as “Move Over” law which states that drivers have to change lanes if they can so that any first responders including police officers, firefighters, and emergency rescue personnel can get to an accident or work on the roadway.
