Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was on road crew involved with lengthening on and off ramps of an interstate highway. Another contractor was doing the work, however. The area had cones in place where the contract work was being done, but cones were moved when contractor completed work in area at time. A mistake had been made in another area concerning the width of the shoulder and off ramp addition. Employee #1 responded to the mistake by going to get a measurement. Measuring from the white line at edge of right (east bound lane), he was standing within 2 ft of the lane with his back to oncoming traffic. He was wearing a high-visibility vest as required. A vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed (posted speed 70 mph) veered out of the lane onto the area outside the white line striking and killing him.
