An Illinois Department of Transportation minuteman truck was conducting traffic control around 3 a.m. Sunday with emergency lights activated, following a different accident – a two vehicle crash – when the IDOT truck was hit from behind by another vehicle.
The driver of that vehicle was cited for driving under the influence, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and violating Scott's Law, which mandates that drivers slow down and use caution around emergency vehicles.
