ODOT Truck Hit While Setting Up Work Zone Near Bluffton

(From ODOT Northwest Ohio District 1)

We are all still reeling from this close call.

A car veered off course and took out a truck mirror on Interstate 75 near the Hancock/Allen County line near Bluffton.

A Hancock County crew was setting up a work zone for crack sealing operations. 

Miraculously, our friend and co-worker pressed themself against the vehicle just in time.

Think about it – if the mirrors collided, how much space was left for the person in between?

It’s a chilling reminder of the risks we take when we’re not paying attention on the road.

Drive like your life depends on it – because it does.

Pay attention, for yourself and everyone else.
