The Ohio State Highway Patrol is using a new tactic to catch speeders along the Ohio Turnpike.

OSHP is now using a semi truck to help troopers issue work zone speeding citations. The truck was seized under the Ohio Drug Offender Law. The semi is typically used for recruitment and education purposes, but OSHP saw an opportunity to use it for speed enforcement.
