Pickup Hits City Work Crew

Posted on Sep 21, 2011

IRVING, Texas - A City of Irving worker and another man are in the hospital after a work crew's equipment was hit by a passing motorist around midnight.

The accident happened as the road crew was picking up cones in the 4900 block of O'Connor Rd.

The crew had a dump truck pulling a trailer. A man driving a pickup truck southbound on O'Connor struck the trailer and knocked the pickup on its side, police say.

The worker was on the other side of the trailer and became trapped when the trailer's load of traffic signs and cones shifted and toppled over him.

The city worker may have a broken arm. The pickup driver was trapped in his vehicle until emergency crews were able to free him. Both men were taken to the hospital.

A blood sample was taken in the emergency room to determine if the pickup driver had been drinking before the accident.
