Crashes Increase on Lloyd Expy Construction Zones

Author/Presenter: Giczewski, Andrea
Abstract:

Heavy construction on the Lloyd Expressway caused not only delays but also crashes. There had been 24 accidents in the past three weeks, 15 of which were caused by distracted drivers. Construction is scheduled to last until November. Drivers are advised to put down cell phones, not to watch what workers are doing, and pay more attention to the road conditions.
