They were there in connection with the investigation of a traffic crash when a pick up truck drove onto the shoulder of the road and struck them. The identity of the pick up truck driver has not yet been disclosed and there is no information on pending charges.

A reminder: When emergency vehicles are stopped on the side of the road, you should move over from the adjacent lane for safety of the emergency vehicle personnel.
Very sorry to hear that. Any developments on this story would be appreciated. Drunk driver? Distracted driver?
