With snowstorms making driving conditions slick and dangerous, state officials are pleading for drivers to slow down, especially around vehicles on the side of the road — and especially emergency service vehicles.
Starting Thursday, four Colorado State Patrol troopers’ vehicles have been hit while on the job.
