ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Police in Maryland say they are investigating an accident after a member of a road construction crew was struck by a car and seriously injured.
Anne Arundel County Police said the worker was hit early Saturday in Annapolis while wearing high-visibility reflective clothing and standing behind a pickup truck with flashing lights.
Police said the driver of the car drove onto the road's shoulder before hitting the worker, who became lodged between the car and a metal platform.
The worker suffered serious injuries and responding officers had to apply tourniquets to control bleeding, police said.
The driver was not injured.
