I know we have several highways agency staff on the site.
Hope they are all safe we all know motorways can be a dangerous place for workers
A friend of mine who works in the east mids control room just posted this.

Thanks for the thread title change

Has anything been said about the driver who hit the highways agency staff.
Has he/she been arrested yet.
The highways agency are also very cautious for obvious reasons with scene management so it will be interesting to see what happened.
I believe this is the first death for a few years which is 1 to many.
RIP to the officer who lost his life and i hope the other chap makes a full recovery.


Unfortunately the good old public will still drive to close to other vehicles and ignore the speed limits

The sh*t driving on dashcam thread has footage of another hato who was very close to being killed on the 30/01/16. He was very lucky.
