DRIVE CAREFULLY IN CONSTRUCTION ZONES!
September 12, 2010, by Jeffrey J. Kroll
Construction zones are particularly dangerous for workers due to drivers being distracted and speeding. The personal injury attorneys at our law firm urge you to drive safely in construction zones. Sadly, a flagman from Orland Park, Illinois was killed in a construction zone on the evening of Wednesday, September 10, 2010 near Robinson, Illinois. A truck driver struck the flagger in a work zone on Illinois 1.
Tragically, the flagger was running from the truck and was headed for a ditch when he was struck, according to the Illinois State Police.
The truck driver was cited for the following: (1) failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and (2) failure to stop for a flagger in a construction area.
