Avian Law Group is saddened to hear about the recent incident that took place on Interstate 80 in Vacaville, California, where a highway worker was seriously injured after being struck by a stolen car. This is a stark reminder of the danger that highway workers face on a daily basis and the importance of taking all necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
According to reports, the crash occurred at approximately 10:36 a.m. on Tuesday morning. The stolen car, driven by an individual who was later arrested, collided with the highway worker who was performing maintenance on the side of the road near Alamo Drive. The injured worker was rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
The incident serves as a reminder that car accidents can happen anywhere, at any time, and to anyone. It is important for drivers to exercise caution and follow traffic laws, especially in high traffic areas such as highways, to minimize the risk of accidents. When highway workers are present, drivers should take extra care to slow down and give them enough space to do their job safely.
