A photo of a mangled OPP cruiser is a stark reminder for drivers to slow down and move over.
The photo posted to Twitter by Sgt. Kerry Schmidt shows the crumpled rear end of a police vehicle that was hit by an 18 year old driver while the officer was protecting a broken down car on the 400.
The teenager from Toronto has been charged with careless driving.
Schmidt did not say if the officer was hurt in the crash.
