In the aftermath of two recent crashes that killed Road Rangers on the side of Florida’s highways, state officials are again urging drivers to follow the state’s “Move Over” law, which requires them to move one lane over or slow down when passing a first responder or disabled vehicle.

Parra's death is part of a troubling trend. In November, Road Ranger Terry Blum was killed on I-95 in Port St. Lucie after being struck by a vehicle. FHP issued nearly 17,000 citations for move over violations in 2024.

January is Move Over Awareness Month and Florida Highway Patrol troopers want drivers to know how moving over can save a life. A Road Ranger was killed on the highway, so troopers want to remind people to move over for any stopped or stalled cars on the road.

MIAMI - Authorities have made an arrest in connection with the New Year's Day crash on Interstate 95 that killed Road Ranger Jose Parra Guadama and injured two Florida Highway Patrol troopers.

The widow of a Road Ranger killed while on duty is sharing her story, hoping her husband's death will remind drivers to follow the law and protect workers on Florida's highways.
