[Opticom EVP] has been a huge benefit for us. Since we’ve had it installed, we have not had an accident involving a vehicle at a preempted intersection.
One Close Call Sparked a Citywide Safety Revolution
On a summer night in 2019, a Myrtle Beach police officer raced to support a fire call — navigating a 10-lane intersection against a red light.
He was struck at full speed by an oncoming vehicle, spinning into a ditch and sent to the hospital.
This was preventable — and now, thanks to Opticom Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP), it’s a thing of the past.
