Liles ended the traffic stop and ran back to his patrol vehicle.

Video shows the deputy tracking the pickup truck that hit him.

The pickup truck made a left onto Kumquat Drive and eventually stopped allowing Liles to catch up.

“It was just a mirror,” Liles tells another deputy at the scene.

“It hit you?” Another deputy said, stunned.

“Yes, go look at the mirror,” Liles said.

Video from the sheriff’s office shows a busted side mirror on the pickup truck.

Sheriff Mike Chitwood said he is thankful Liles is OK.

“If it’s another six inches toward the deputy. We are having a different conversation,” Chitwood said.

Investigators are reminding drivers the law requires everyone to move over a lane for any stopped emergency, sanitation or utility service vehicles.

Chitwood said drivers can see police lights a quarter-mile away.

He adds Liles’ gear probably helped him absorb the hit.

Chitwood was hit by a car in March while he was taking a bike ride.

The driver is accused of hitting Chitwood while she was using her phone to shop on Amazon.
