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.

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.

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.
