Slow down, especially around emergency service vehicles

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.
