WESTMINSTER, Colo -- This week is Crash Responder Safety Week! Please remember to slow down and use caution when approaching a crash scene on the roadway. 

Colorado’s Move Over Law requires drivers to move over a lane whenever they encounter any stationary vehicle on a highway with its hazards flashing. If you can't, you must slow down to at least 20 mph below the posted speed limit.
