In the past year in my area two police officers and one fireman have been killed on the side of the road because of inattentive drivers running off the road and hitting them while they were stopped on the shoulder with another vehicle. In one case it was a trooper checking on someone changing a tire and of course he had all of his emergency lights on but that doesn't matter to a texting idiot.
It's called the moth effect or target fixation. Some believe the emergency lights are the reason people steer towards the emergency vehicle on the side of the road.
