WSDOT is pleading with drivers to slow down when approaching work zones, where a large number of accidents have been recorded.
60 hard hats and cones lined the hallway of WSDOT's Headquarters Transportation Building for the department's Worker Memorial in 2023.
This department-issued plea came after three workers were injured after a car crashed into a construction work zone along Interstate 5 in Federal Way this week. The driver of the car allegedly rammed into two of their maintenance crew vehicles. All three of the injured workers were evaluated at a hospital and were subsequently released.
Earlier this year, WSDOT reported six workers were injured after a vehicle slammed into their trucks. Officials stated that two pickups, carrying three workers each, parked on the shoulder of I-5 while waiting for lane closures to repair potholes. Within 90 seconds, a driver traveling more than 60 mph drifted into the shoulder and crashed into the rear of one truck, pushing it into the rear of the other, according to WSDOT. The driver was believed to be under the influence..
