Near-Miss Opens Debate on Major Traffic Law

Captain Randy Jones of the Iowa State Patrol pulled over to help a broken-down school bus near Des Moines, Iowa, in January. Seconds after he left his car, a semi-truck barely missed hitting him and side swiped the bus, according to KCCI 8.

“My heart definitely jumped up into my throat,” said Jones. “It just happened so fast I had no opportunity to move any other place.”

Iowa State Patrol Sgt. Nathan Ludwig said it happens more than drivers realize. Officials are now warning drivers to change lanes or slow down when they see flashing lights on the side of the road.
