Virginia: Tow truck driver hopes photo from Virginia State Police crash scene sends life-saving message

A Virginia tow truck driver captured a meaningful image after he responded to a serious crash involving a Virginia State Trooper on Interstate 95 in Caroline. Mark Giles Jr., a driver for Bud’s Towing in Ruther Glen, said he and other troopers at the scene of Wednesday’s crash stopped in their tracks when they saw the detached bumper of a state trooper’s cruiser on the interstate. On the bumper was a sticker that read: “The Move Over Law: It Saves Lives.”

“[This is] one of the most meaningful pictures I’ve ever taken,” Giles posted on Facebook. “This is from the scene the other night where Trooper Benner was injured. The bumper from [the] car that got hit was laying on the ground perfect for this picture with the move over law sticker. June is Move Over Awareness Month so let’s spread this awareness.”
