Why do fire trucks and police cars block interstate lanes when the car wreck is on the shoulder?
Chicago Lady Jul 8th, 2009 This is a great question! There are so many reasons; here are a few possibilities: – The accident likely occurred on the roadway. By the time you arrived the vehicles have been safely removed to the shoulder. – There is likely glass, metal fragments and other debris in the roadway, which will pose a safety hazard to other vehicles driving over them. The emergency vehicles will block that area until a road crew can perform clean-up. – People may have been pinned in their vehicles and needed extraction, or ejected from their vehicles onto the roadway and needed to be protected until they could be safely moved. – Major accidents require measurements be taken, speeds estimated, etc. to reconstruct the scenario to assess violations for any subsequent legal action, citations, etc. (if someone were to die, someone may be held accountable). – There is also the possibility it may have been a crime scene involving a shooting, road rage, hate crime, domestic, or other.
