The deputy had been called to investigate a mobile arrow board that had been struck by a car at 3:50 a.m. Friday, July 8. The striking driver fled the scene after colliding with the piece of equipment commonly used to warn them to move over to the next lane due to road work.
After inspecting the equipment parked outside an Arby’s restaurant, the driver of a black SUV slammed into the device, nearly missing the deputy who had walked back to his car 15 seconds earlier.
