DENVER — After two crashes into emergency vehicles in the Denver area in just the last week, Colorado State Patrol and the Colorado Department of Transportation are pleading with drivers to slow down and move over from crash responses to keep law enforcement and workers safe.
“I stepped outside of my vehicle to go talk with a sergeant that actually came up on scene, just to let him know kind of what’s going on. He was at the driver’s side door of the CDOT truck when I heard skids. And then ultimately, the vehicle that was trying to pass from the number three lane — which is the far right lane — into that number two lane, was trying to pass, and ultimately lost control and struck the rear of my vehicle,” Gill said.
The potential dangers of the job were well known to Gill before he had even put on the badge himself. His father was a trooper for the Colorado State Patrol, as well. “It still fathoms me that we still have to have this conversation of such an easy and avoidable incident,” Gill said. “If you see one of us, it’s the law to move over. Simple as that.”
