Investigation Summary
On August 7, 2007, Employee #1 and a coworker were in a construction zone on US Highway Route 19 north when an automobile traveling at high speed tried to merge from State Route 98. The car veered into the barricaded lane, knocking aside three traffic barrels and a wooden DO NOT ENTER blockade. The coworker was able to jump aside and avoid a direct hit. Employee #1 was struck by the front passenger side of the car and was killed. The young, inexperienced driver of the car was trying to merge ahead of the traffic traveling north on US Route 19.
