After the arrow board was hitched the truck was struck by a fast moving vehicle. Two employees were on the rear platform of the truck, at that moment, and two employees were in the cab. Employee #1 sustained fractures, and was hospitalized. Employee #2 sustained bruises, contusions and abrasions, and was not hospitalized.
