Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and a coworker were removing traffic control devices from the high speed lane of a six lane road when the arrow signboard that they were towing was struck by another vehicle. The arrow signboard rolled over Employee #1's legs; he subsequently died of a blood clot. The arrow signboard was not operating at the time of the accident and the only warning device in use was the emergency four-way flasher on the workers' vehicle.
