I agree. If that picture is taken right after the accident with nothing moved (and I don`t believe they moved anything with the death of a cop). then that entire scene is very hard to interpret when coming up on it even at less than the posted speed limit. I too would have a hard time making sense of it.
It didn't even dawn upon me that this picture was taken after the collision, my apologies. You are right, they probably didn't move the police car, but its possible that they either moved the DOT truck or brought in another one.
Regardless, there is NEVER any good reason to drive in between a firetruck and a cop car, a cop car and a DOT truck, a cop car and a tow truck, etc. When there are multiple vehicles on the highway with flashing lights you need to SLOW DOWN and interpret what you are seeing. Some people are more intelligent than others and can interpret at 30 mph... some people aren't as intelligent and may need to slow down to 10 mph. Regardless, the responsibility is on the driver to slow down to a SAFE SPEED and properly interpret what is going on.
