Police stated a multi-coloured sedan failed to slow down and proceed with caution around a stopped emergency vehicle with its emergency lights activated.
The sedan was stopped and the driver issued a ticket.
“As the officer was concluding the traffic stop, the driver of the sedan ‘punched’ the gas, causing the tires of the sedan to spin and loose traction with the ground, throwing gravel in the air and leaving tire ruts in the shoulder,” police stated in a press release.
The sedan was stopped again.
