June 07, 2019
Police are still looking for the driver
Traffic camera video caught the moment a driver appeared to bolt from a traffic stop and intentionally run down a Florida Highway Patrol trooper late last month.
Trooper Arsenio Caballero is seen in the video speaking to a driver in a dark-colored SUV on a Florida Turnpike exit ramp in Hollywood on May 25, WFOR-TV reported.

That motorist soon drives away, and Caballero walks toward the exit ramp's shoulder.

Suddenly a driver in a white BMW 6 Series with a temporary tag who'd been pulled over in a traffic stop by another state trooper is seen peeling away — and heading directly toward Caballero.
