Well without a lot of facts on the accident, one of two things happened!

#1. The driver could not react quickly enough to avoid hitting the officer.

#2. The driver made a decision to try to drive through a place he should not have.

If this was a traffic incident that had been there long enough for police and others to arrive and block two lanes,, #1 does not apply,, Epically for a motor home which has a high chair for the driver's seat (by high I mean my feet when I'm driving this rig are dang close to the level of the ROOF on my car) This gives me a much longer view of the road ahead, but then even when in the car I can usually see much farther than the guy in front of me (has to do with where i position my car.. I do not see the back of his head, I can see through his windshield) Nearly all drivers will crowd the left edge of their lane in backup conditions, I do not).

So I think he tried to fit where he could not. I have seen this with my own eyes (only with cars) far too many times,, Done a favor or two for some of them (Since I hang farther right one who tried to run the shoulder ran over a piece of something sharp right where the grass and asphalt met.. Taking out both passenger side tires, Another pulled off onto the shoulder right after the sign that said STATE POLICE NEXT EXIT, I was watching the back of the sign (remotly) and notified the closure crew,, The sign spoke the truth.
