ODOT District 1 Public Information Officer Rhonda Pees says if you can’t get over, make sure you slow down when you see a vehicle with flashing lights on the side of the road.

Pees says in Ohio last year there were more than 100 crashes in ODOT work zones. She adds that more often than not, it’s the driver and not the worker who ends up injured in those types of crashes…

Pees adds that you should never drive distracted so you know when you are coming up on an emergency situation or construction zone.
