A report shows an FHP trooper was also heading north on the Turnpike and pulled in behind the Kissimmee driver.
The trooper put on his car’s emergency lights and placed the vehicle in park moments before the first driver began backing up, troopers said.
According to FHP, the trooper then began blowing his horn to get the driver’s attention, though the driver still backed right into the trooper’s vehicle.
FHP stated there were no injuries, and neither the driver nor the trooper were taken to the hospital.
The crash remains under investigation.
