Another example of what happens when drivers don't slow down and move over.

Per the Nassau County Police Department Facebook Page:

The Nassau County Police Department lost one of their own today. Police Officer Joseph Olivieri's supreme sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Very sad and avoidable tragedy. IMO harsh punishment should be given in cases such as this.

Rest peacefully officer.
