I can't believe they charged him unless he was drunk or high, texting, or going 80. He couldn't have been going that fast, because he got it hauled down pretty quick.
Half of the jury would see that curve, the space between the 2 vehicles and not know what to do. It is not plain or obvious.
I'm sure there are standards for directing traffic on an interstate highway, and I can't say what they are, but this shouldn't meet them. It would appear obvious that the officer was physically incapable of moving his cruiser. No one would have permitted anything be moved in a crime scene.
This is why in many cases emergency personal close the entire road most of the time. To keep themselves safe while working the crash! Too many drivers don't pay attention when the should, then you have those like mentioned before that no matter how well marked they will think doesn't apply to them!!!!!
