On December 23 and 24, police officers across Ohio organized nighttime convoys of hundreds of vehicles as part of “Operation Santa Sleigh 2020,” an event meant to celebrate the holidays and lift the spirits of hospital patients.

According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the event took place across the state and included children’s hospitals in Akron, Cleveland, Dayton, Toledo, Cincinnati, and Columbus as well as two veteran’s homes in Georgetown and Sandusky.

Oh what a sight! 100+ police vehicles in #OperationSantaSleigh! The cruisers left the UD area to start a ride that will take them through parts of Dayton, Moraine, Kettering, Centerville, etc. The huge procession will end up @DaytonChildrens for a holiday #GoodNightLights pic.twitter.com/NPjZAOUXPg

Though the event was organized by police, truckers were able to get in on the festivities as well. Dayton-based Miller Specialized Transport said that they were asked to bring a couple of trucks to the event.

“When we asked our drivers for volunteers, every driver said yes, so we showed up with all the trucks. We are happy to be here with all the Police & Fire Departments along with tow companies from all over the state. There are hundreds of vehicles here, we hope the kids enjoyed it,” the company said.

The dash cammer and Reddit user JudgeRightly describes the incident:

“I had been trying to pass him for a long time before this. This was my one opportunity to pass him that wouldn’t require me to hold up traffic because of the fact that my truck is only slightly faster than him. I had tried before (prior to these clips) to back off his tail and give him some room, but I still eventually got to the point where I was right behind him again…

If he ran into the construction zone, it would have been his own fault for not slowing down and yielding. His lane was ending, mine was not. He’s the one wanting to merge, and therefore it’s his responsibility to merge safely.
I will do everything I can to avoid a collision. But I’m not going to be a pushover when someone’s lane is ending and he doesn’t have the decency to recognize I’m not going to let him over to slow down.”
