A Taylorville Police Officer had a scare Thursday evening after assisting a motorist who was having car trouble. Officer Christian Nelson of the Taylorville Police Department was helping a vehicle and parked behind them. A video released of the footage shows that as Officer Nelson walked back to his car, a vehicle was driving way too fast and almost collided head-on with oncoming traffic driving on the outside of the other lane to avoid hitting vehicles. The vehicle hit a guard rail and pulled over after. The driver stated that they were having brake problems.  Taylorville Police Chief Dwayne Wheeler along with the rest of the Taylorville Police Department reminds you to move over slow down and pay attention, especially when you see flashing lights.  Scott’s Law, which requires you to slow down and move over, has gone up in fines and fees in 2020.
