Safety Concerns on Alabama Roadways
Emergency responders transported the worker to a hospital for treatment. Fortunately, officials report that the employee is expected to make a full recovery following the accident.
This incident comes just six days after the tragic loss of Amad Jackson, a dedicated ALDOT crew leader who was fatally struck by a vehicle while working in an active maintenance zone in Bullock County.
A Call for Caution
The proximity of road crews to active traffic remains a significant challenge for the department. Wallace McAdory III, ALDOT West Central Region Engineer, addressed the incident by emphasizing the dangers workers face daily.
"Our employees work hard every day to maintain our roadways, often in close proximity to traffic," McAdory said. "We’re thankful our employee is expected to recover, and we encourage all motorists to use extra caution when approaching maintenance crews."
205focus.com reminds all drivers to stay alert, remain vigilant, and adhere to Alabama's move-over laws by slowing down or moving over whenever you encounter roadside work crews and equipment.
