ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — A Georgia Department of Public Safety vehicle was struck early Sunday morning while escorting trucks that were treating local roads ahead of the weekend’s ice storm.
“This is exactly why we ask drivers to stay off the roads when travel isn’t necessary and to slow down and move over for emergency vehicles, tow trucks, and disabled vehicles,” the department said on a social media post.
Officials said the vehicle was a commercial vehicle enforcement unit.
