From the State
November 13-17 is Crash Responder Safety Week. This year’s theme is “Protect Those who Protect You!” Every minute of every day, law enforcement, fire and rescue, emergency medical services, public works, transportation, towing, and other responders work to make roadways safe for all road users. These traffic incident responders put their lives at risk when clearing each of the nearly 7 million motor vehicle crashes that occur in the U.S. each year.
