"This is just another example of how we can't stress enough work zone awareness," said William Thomas, the Florida Department of Transportation. "It's just important, whether it be road rangers or maintenance workers or construction workers. We all have a duty to be aware of what's going on in construction zones." Police have not released the name of either of the men involved in the accident.
