An Illinois State Police (ISP) squad car was struck while responding to an existing crash in Downers Grove, according to CBS Chicago. The incident underscores the importance of adhering to Scott’s Law, which requires drivers to slow down and move over when approaching vehicles with activated hazard or emergency lights.

Scott’s Law is designed to protect law enforcement officers and other emergency responders working on roadways. Compliance with this law is crucial for ensuring the safety of those who serve the public in emergency situations.

Authorities urge motorists to be vigilant and cautious, particularly in areas where accidents have occurred and emergency personnel are present.
