There's an urgent reminder to slow down and move over following a crash on a major interstate in the Hudson Valley.

Joe Stinziani has been getting behind the wheel of a tow truck for a long time. He says he has seen a lot. But one thing he sees far too often is drivers not slowing down or moving over during roadside services.

"Unfortunately, many drivers have been hit, most of our guys had problems over the years where they've been side-swiped," Stinziani tells News 12.

Just Thursday morning in Yonkers, a car slammed into the back of a maintenance truck on I-87. Two people were left with minor injuries.

Officials say this happens far too often and want drivers to obey the law.
