[QUOTE="EhlerDave, post: 2778520, member: 2564"] I was on an asphalt lay down crew, just North of Marland, I was driving a truck. While I was backing to the lay down machine a crazy driver in a car came flying into the work zone. He was going so fast he cut between me and the lay down machine then into the ditch and came back onto the road almost striking a steel wheel roller. Sadly that kind of crap is not uncommon. This is how people on work crews die. Just a couple of weeks before this incident we had a worker that lost both legs, plus many months in the hospital, I have no idea of the rehab time. He was unloading equipment and a car crashed through the barricades and smashed him against his trailer. Sad way to have things happen. So if the cars wont slow down, and LEO are needed then add it to the job cost and tell the folks who blast through the work zones. [/QUOTE]
