VANCOUVER, Wash. — On Tuesday, Washington State Department of Transportation crews were nearly hit when a crash in a construction zone in Vancouver happened right next to them.
WSDOT took to social media to remind people of the dangers their crews are in when working on the roads.
“Thankfully, none of our workers or contract staff were injured,” WSDOT wrote in a Facebook post. “Far too often, they aren’t so fortunate.”
Watch this near miss collision in a work zone on SR 14 near Vancouver on Tuesday evening. Thankfully, none of our workers or contract staff were injured. Far too often, they aren't so fortunate. This video shows just how vulnerable our crews are out on the roads. We say this a lot, but somehow, it's never enough: Slow down, move over and pay attention. Do your part to ensure these people can get home to their friends and families at the end of the day.
