ROCKFORD (WREX) – Twenty-two troopers were hit by drivers violating Scott’s Law so far this year. Two of them, Troopers Brooke Jones-Story and Christopher Lambert, died.

That’s not lost on those who lived through their crash. The nine men and women you’re about to hear from aren’t just troopers, they’re survivors. For the first time, many of them are sharing their story in hopes you’ll take Scott’s Law to heart.

“I had flares behind my squad car, about 100 feet back. And I was like, I can’t believe this guy didn’t move over,” said Trooper Arturo Resendez from District 5.

Trooper Resendez is one of the nearly two-dozen troopers who nearly lost their life, not chasing criminals or dodging bullets, but simply by being parked on the side of the highway. Nearly every day, the troopers say someone violates Scott’s Law and almost hits them.
