An Illinois State Trooper was able to return home from rehab Saturday morning after two years of recovering from a serious Scott's Law Crash.

"Our family and friends hold high hopes that going home will be the answer, and the place that he wakes up," his wife, Lauren Frank said.Pritzker signs new law to expand enforcement of Scott's Law Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed into law Thursday an expansion on the enforcement of Scott's Law, which requires drivers to move over for emergency vehicles.
