Watch: Highway worker narrowly avoids high-speed truck crash
A highway worker jumped out of the way seconds before a truck crashed into his equipment in New York State.
Dashcam video shows the man’s lucky escape from the crash that took place at roadworks on Interstate 81 highway near Whitney Point.
The New York State Department of Transportation posted the video of the recent collision on social media to raise awareness of the dangers highway workers face every day.
There were no serious injuries to either the worker or the truck driver.
“These crashes are avoidable! Slow down, move over if possible, and stay alert in work zones – these simple actions can save lives,” the department said on social media.
