PIERRE, (KCCR) — Law enforcement officials are reminding motorists to move over for first responders after two crashes involving failure to abide by the state’s Move Over law. Jackson County Sheriff Tucker Amiotte was injured when his patrol pickup was crushed in a rear-end crash in Pennington County. On the other side of the state in Union County, a South Dakota Highway Patrol troopers’ patrol car sustained left rear damage in a crash on Interstate 29. Ironically also on Tuesday, South Dakota Transportation Secretary Joel Jundt says his department is looking to bring legislation to improve the state’s move-over law…
South Dakota passed a move-over law to protect first responders after the death of a tow truck driver during the 2022 legislative session.
