An Illinois State Police squad car was struck while attending to a crash scene in Downers Grove. The incident underscores the importance of adhering to Scott's Law, which mandates that drivers slow down and move over for vehicles with activated hazard or emergency lights.

Authorities remind motorists of the critical nature of this law, emphasizing the need for safety precautions when approaching such situations on the road.

"Remember to SLOW DOWN and MOVE OVER if it is safe to do so when passing any vehicle with hazard or emergency lights activated," state officials urge.

This recent accident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers faced by emergency responders and the importance of driver awareness and compliance with traffic laws designed to protect them.
