“The caller attempted to turn off Highway 202 to avoid the other vehicle,” said S/Sgt. Bushell. “The following vehicle struck the rear quarter panel of the caller’s vehicle similar to a “pit maneuver.”
“This caused the caller to lose control and drive into the ditch, deploying the airbags and causing minor injuries.”
