Although Officer Blake Roope was wearing a neon green traffic vest, using neon green traffic wands, and had his fully marked police car with emergency lights on placed at the side of the road to slow traffic down, he still was nearly struck by a motorist that caused a crash on SR 46 last week.

According to information from Batesville Police Chief Stan Holt, the school resource officer (Roope) was directing traffic at the intersection of SR 46 and Huntersville Road about 3:15 p.m. on Wednesday, August 25 when the incident occurred.
