Investigators say Benitez-Santana continued drifting into the far-right lane, beginning to enter the right shoulder. The vehicle then uses its turn signal and merges completely onto the shoulder of the road, where Trooper Gadd's vehicle was parked.Gadd's vehicle can then be seen on the dashcam video, where Bentiez-Santana begins braking for about one second before he slams into the back of the SUV, according to the probable cause statement.
