More details tonight on the memorial procession tomorrow in honor of the driver for West Seattle-based GT Towing who was killed on the job two weeks ago, 51-year-old William “Tony” Padilla: The procession, already planned to start at 2 pm at the Bellevue Park and Ride at 14200 SE Eastgate Way (map), will end in Seattle, at 2960 4th Avenue South (map). That update comes from the Washington State Patrol, which included this reminder:

The move over law is in effect in Washington State. The purpose of the law is to protect all emergency zone workers. Motorists are required to move over and away from the emergency worker when approaching in the lane closest to the worker. If traffic volume prohibits moving over then the motorist is required to slow down significantly when approaching emergency personnel on the road. Starting in January 2011 the law becomes even more restrictive by making it a violation to exceed the speed limit within 200ft of an emergency zone even after moving over. The fine for failing to move over is $124. Drivers are also subject to a charge of reckless endangerment to emergency zone workers if it is determined that their actions are likely to endanger an emergency zone worker. A conviction will result in a 60 day license suspension.

The driver charged with vehicular homicide in Mr. Padilla’s death, 20-year-old Shavelle Lewis, remains jailed in lieu of $150,000 bail.
