The regulation requires drivers to gradual down and pass over for emergency cars. The regulation, enacted in 2002, was named after Lieutenant Scott Gillen, a Chicago firefighter, who was struck and killed by an intoxicated driver whilst supporting at a crash at the Dan Ryan Expressway.

“No driving force wishes to get to their destination so speedy that wishes to position a trooper’s lifestyles at hazard,” Pritzker said during a press conference about the law on Monday.

“Today is a dark day for the Illinois State Police circle of relatives,” said Brendan Kelly, acting director of the Illinois State Police. “How regularly does this have to occur? How many more must be hurt or killed? When’s enough, enough?”
The driving force of the vehicle that struck Jones-Story has been stated with violation of Scott’s Law and flawed lane usage, police said.

“The males and females of this department, particularly the soldiers and associates of trooper Jones-Story, are sad, hurting and they may be irritated,” Kelly said.

At the crash scene, which is about hours west of Chicago, country troopers gave Jones-Story, a 12-12 months veteran of the ISP, one very last salute.

ISP also shared statistics approximately how to make donations to Jones-Story’s circle of relatives.
