I will always slow up in construction zones and watch close for workers. My daughter drives an asphalt roller in those sometimes. A fellow worker of hers was killed on the job a few years back.
While this was not a construction zone, I am always surprised by the number of drivers that either don't start slowing down or actually speed up approaching flashing lights, be they amber for construction or Blue and red emergency equipment in the road.
The rule in many states is give them a lane, or slow WAY DOWN. Giving the lane is not that hard if are looking well down the road like you should.
Without the whole story, or investigation results, based only on the pictures, the Motor home drive chose poorly to drive between the the sign truck and police car, "Common Since" would say to go outside of both emergency vehicles.
