Distracted Driver Causes Work Zone Crash in Smyrna

Author/Presenter: Semyon, Cassandra
Abstract:

An inattentive driver struck another vehicle, causing that vehicle to crash into one of the DelDOT work trucks in a work zone in Smyrna. Thanks to the truck mounted attenuator which is meant to protect road workers along the side of the road, there were no serious injuries from this crash.
