Senator Williams Remarks on PA's "Slow Down, Move Over" Law
Today I was pleased to vote to improve PA's "Slow Down, Move Over" law to protect our emergency responders, tow truck drivers, and construction workers. I was honored to share the words of Mark Ford, an EMT and Rescue Technician from Ross West View EMSA who was involved in a secondary accident last December when his ambulance was struck by a tractor trailer as he and his crew responded to a minor accident. What started as a fender bender became a multi-lane, multi-hour highway shutdown that included ambulance transportation for the 2 EMT workers, the destruction of their gear, and the totaling of an ambulance– and they were lucky because no one was seriously injured or killed that day.Please pay attention. Please slow down. Please move over.
