Work Zone Fatalities Reach 15-Year High
In 2019, the most recent year for which data are available, 842 people died in highway work-zone crashes compared to 757 the year before. The 11.2-percent increase is the largest percentage increase of highway work zone fatalities since 2006.
TDOT crews were called out to make emergency pothole repairs on I-24 in the Antioch area. Even with traffic control vehicles and a work zone setup, a driver in a red pickup truck with a trailer full of construction supplies slammed into the work zone at a high rate of speed. Thankfully, the attenuator behind the TDOT trucks absorbed most of the impact from the crash and no TDOT employees were hurt.
