The first responders who rush to the scene of a crash often help save lives. The agencies who answer our emergency calls remind us they’re also at risk.“We had a trooper, Tim Huffman, who was killed,' Arizona Department of Public Safety Sergeant Eric Andrews said. 'He was still in his vehicle but he was killed by a driver who wasn’t paying attention.
“Do not pick up your phone and try and get pictures or video of it,' Andrews said. 'Just try to get to your destination.”In addition to law enforcement, the Arizona Department of Transportation's incident response team works to clear off the roadway after a crash.They say simple measures are all it takes for drivers to keep them safe.“The biggest thing is, when you see any emergency lights, just slow down,' Michael Lang with ADOT said.
