National Attention on Work Zone Safety -The video we shared yesterday, capturing a heart-stopping moment as a NYSDOT worker narrowly avoided a box truck crashing into a work zone was featured today on Good Morning America.

Our highway workers put their lives on the line every day to keep NY roads safe, and this recent work zone crash on I-81 near Whitney Point is a frightening reminder of the dangers they face. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries, but it could have been MUCH worse. To everyone on the road: These crashes are avoidable! Slow down, move over if possible, and stay alert in work zones—these simple actions can save lives.
