A man found himself behind bars on Saturday after colliding with an unmarked patrol car during a traffic stop and fleeing the scene, as reported by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

The incident occurred at 3:01 a.m. when a deputy was performing a traffic stop on Adamo Drive near Orient Road.

According to the deputy, he was inside his patrol car with the emergency lights flashing when an eastbound vehicle hit the driver’s side of his car.

After the impact, the driver continued traveling east for about a mile before the deputy managed to pull him over.

The deputy noted that the driver, identified as 49-year-old Amin Williams, exhibited signs of impairment.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office arrested Williams and charged him with leaving the scene of a crash with property damage, driving under the influence, and refusal to submit to testing.

No one was injured in the crash, and both vehicles sustained only minor damages.

“This incident is a reminder of how dangerous the roadside can be for our deputies,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “Florida’s Move Over Law exists to protect law enforcement, first responders, and roadside workers. When drivers fail to slow down, move over, or choose to drive impaired, lives are put at risk.”

Drivers are required by Florida’s Move Over Law to move over to the next lane when approaching emergency vehicles stopped on the roadside.
