(Springfield, IL) — Illinois authorities are concerned about an increase in Scott’s Law crashes. The crashes happen when emergency vehicles stopped on the side of the road with lights flashing get hit by passing drivers. Scott’s Law requires drivers to move over a lane when going past stopped emergency vehicles. The number of Scott’s Law crashes this year is nearly double the number for all of last year.
