Memphis, Tenn.–Two Tennessee Department of Transportation contractors were killed and a THP trooper injured during a multiple-vehicle crash crash on I-40 early Wednesday morning.
TDOT Spokesperson Nichole Lawrence said, “The two employees worked for A & A Safety out of Ohio. The contractor was working in a mobile work zone within a lane closure, replacing the snow plowable markers along the interstate” when the accident occurred.
According to the THP the wreck happened just before 4 a.m. in the westbound lane. The TDOT workers were laying down the reflectors in the middle of the interstate and the trooper was following behind them to block traffic.
The THP has not released the name or condition of the trooper injured, but they have said he was taken to the hospital.
