Narrative

An employee and a co-worker were preparing to block off the side of a road for a utility crew. The employee was picking up traffic cones while the co-worker was towing an arrow board with a truck. A vehicle crossed two lanes of traffic and entered the work zone, striking the arrow board that was being towed. The board subsequently struck the employee, resulting in a fractured left hand, fractured ribs on the right side, and a contusion to their right forearm.
