News » DOT reacts to death of Adopt-a-Hwy worker
July 22, 2010
A spokesman for the state department of transportation says they were shocked by the death of an Adopt-a-Highway volunteer.
70-year-old Cornelius VanHandel was struck and killed by a car while working in a ditch along Highway 41 near De Pere last night.
DOT spokesman Kim Rudat says this is the first traffic-related death of an Adopt-a-Highway volunteer in northeast Wisconsin. He says there is always some risk if you're working near a highway, but the DOT gives workers safety tips and they post signs for traffic.
A 31-year-old Green Bay woman was driving the car that hit VanHandel. She received tickets for driving without a license and failing to keep her vehicle under control. |
