Abstract: At 2:15 p.m. on January 13, 2021, an employee was working in the flagman position wearing a high visibility coat while holding a 6 foot tall traffic flow sign. The employee was responsible for directing traffic while Coworker #1, Coworker #2 and Coworker #3 knocked down trees with a backhoe. The employee had just turned his traffic flow sign from stop to slow. Driver #1 was the only one stopped and was waiting for the signal to proceed. As he pulled out, he checked his rear view mirror and noticed Driver #2 coming at a high rate of speed. Driver #1 thought he was going to be rear ended when Driver #2 hit the employee with such force he pushed the employee and the employee's truck approximately 50 feet from the point of impact. The employee was killed when he was struck by Driver #2's Ford Ranger truck and crushed between Driver #2's truck and his own Dodge pickup truck.
