Two Holly Springs police officers were taken to a local hospital Wednesday after their marked patrol car was hit at Main Street and the N.C. 55 Bypass while they were responding to a priority domestic-assault call.

The state’s Move Over Law, G.S. 20-157, also requires drivers to slow down and move over for stopped emergency vehicles with warning lights on.
