The Hurley FSR road bed material project has started and yesterday there was a MOTOR VEHICLE INCIDENT between a pickup truck and a gravel truck. The pickup truck was driving fast in the middle of the road and the gravel truck had to hug the side of the road but ended up going down the embankment approximately 50 feet. The driver was taken to hospital.
Speeding in a work zone is not acceptable so slow down in the work zones. The contractor had to yell at a couple of drivers to slow down. When you see a gravel truck on the road slow down and pullover and let them by, that is the safest thing to do for both drivers.
