The accident happened in New York.
Despite warning signs and roadblocks, the truck came thundering on October 28.
A video that has now been published shows how the road worker barely manages to throw himself to the side of the road and then run into the ditch. During the dramatic seconds, the man’s protective helmet flies and shortly after, the truck drives off the road.
“Risking their lives every day”
In a post on X, the company behind the road work warns of the devastating consequences that can occur if drivers do not take them into account.
“Our road workers risk their lives every day to keep New York’s roads safe, and the recent crash on I-81 near Whitney Point is a terrifying reminder of the dangers they face,” they wrote in the post.
