It is bodycam video of a Lowndes County sheriff’s deputy investigating another accident on the opposite side of the freeway.
While he was at the scene, video showed a car driving up the ramp of a tow truck, then flying over the truck and overturning in mid-air before crashing on Georgia Highway.
The deputy then rushes to the aid of the driver, who is reportedly a woman who survived.
The incident raises awareness of Georgia’s move-over law, which obliges drivers to slow down or change lanes when emergency vehicles, including tow trucks, are parked at the side of the road. A law that is implemented in many states in the USA
