Tow truck drivers and police are highlighting the dangers on the road for first responders.

It comes after a collision involving a Huntsville police officer. The wreck left his squad car badly damaged and the officer with injuries.

“Move over if traffic allows you to move over. Give everybody room to work. Just be aware of the situation going on around you,” Shelt said. “All emergency vehicles, police and fire, any of your emergency responders, highway DOT workers, even your sanitation department is classified as roadside assistance workers. Any kind of people who work alongside the roadways is who you’re looking for.”
