Reckless driving causing injury

The officer should sue!

I'm sure the workman's compensation carrier will be in touch with Madison and his insurance company.

I was looking up various states' fines for speeding and/or reckless driving in a work zone. Speeding is usually at least $300; reckless driving I've seen as much as $5,000. $133 is a farce. Especially since he rear ended a car--a trooper's car at that.

And from FDOT:

According to 2017-2021 statewide crash data, Florida experienced more than 53,000 work zone-related crashes, including more than 356 fatalities and more than 1,904 severe injuries.
