In Camden County, New Jersey, a structure employee and several others were injured after a woman lost her car.
The twist of fate led to the closure of White Horse Pike on Wednesday.
Several employees were caught in the three-vehicle twist of fate that occurred around 9:45 a. m. , according to authorities. One employee was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to investigators, the driver crashed into a parking lot sidewalk and a bush before entering and striking the workers. The vehicle then crashed into two cars in the left lane of White Horse Pike.
The northbound pike lane was closed at the time of the turn of fate as an active paint zone.
According to the prosecutor’s office, three staff members were taken to the hospital. One of them was in critical condition and the other two had only minor injuries.
“I stand in solidarity with the family. The family is surely devastated. I can only imagine it,” Magnolia Police Chief John Huston said.
Last year, there were seven fatalities across the stretch of the state in Camden County, according to authorities.
The U. S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the worker deaths. They have six months to get the results.
