Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:30 a.m. on April 8, 1999, a tractor trailer entered a construction zone ignoring three warning signs and ran Employee #2, a flagman, off of the road who tumbled down an embankment. The tractor trailer then plowed through 540 ft of cones and slammed into a backhoe operated by Employee #1, who was flung 25 ft from the cab striking the pavement.
