Tractor-trailer strikes police cars during stop
A Hannibal, Missouri, truck driver was cited after police said his vehicle sideswiped two police cars during a traffic stop on Interstate 72 on Saturday.
According to an Illinois State Police report, a Pike County sheriff’s deputy and a state trooper pulled over a pickup truck because of a traffic violation about 3 p.m. A tractor-trailer truck being driven by Olin L. Rabe, 76, of Hannibal was going east and did not change lanes, according to police.
The tractor-trailer truck sideswiped both police vehicles. The sheriff’s deputy was outside of his vehicle talking to the pickup truck driver through the passenger-side door and the state trooper was inside his vehicle at the time. Neither was injured.
Rabe was cited on charges of failure to yield to an emergency vehicle and improper lane use.
