Truck crash sends worker flying out of construction bucket

@@RICHIE_RICH89 The driver did stop. But it seems like operators of box trucks never take in consideration the height of their trucks cargo area. That’s why I never put myself into the road without blocking the lane with my bucket truck. It was just as big as the box truck. I often was stopped and inspected by DPS for weight limit when I filled up at the gas station instead of a truck stop. I was just under the limit for requirement for a CDL.

[@danburch9989]

I retired after 18 years from traffic signal programming and maintenance. Enjoyed every bit of it. Our SOP says we are to NEVER bucket over an open lane of traffic for ANY reason. The truck is our safety device. If we felt we needed more safety (usually heavy, high speed trraffic like this), we called for police support to block the traffic. Park the truck in the lane of traffic and use cones to direct traffic away from the truck. It's harder to knock the truck out from under the bucket than it is to knock the bucket out from under the worker.

[@Mountainman524]

Only 18 years and you retired gotta love the city state jobs what a joke! You’re a total burden on society with your pension

[@jasond5405]

Years ago I had to go load a burnt up tractor and trailer that was in a accident on I-75 in Florida and the driver of the semi ran into a bucket truck in the middle of the night that was repairing the street lights on the interstate and the driver of the semi must have fell asleep and hit the bucket truck at 68mph but the worst part was there was a guy in the bucket up at the street light when the accident happened and threw the guy like a catapult about 100 yards down the interstate!! He obviously didn't survive. It makes you realize that you might not ever come home from a simple day at work!!!

We had a death here in Delaware on I-95 a few years ago where a semi-truck did hit the bucket of the crane and the worker was deceased on impact. I believe it was a father-son duo with the son on the bucket. I think they were working on the interstate signs at the time.

This was pure laziness and possibly greed. If a sub contractor they get paid by the job not by the hour so incentive is to do each task as quickly as possible which would be little to no setup(traffic control).

This is what happens when you have a private contractor do city jobs.

[@mikeg3439]

a) not every private contractor is an idiot. If anything, the private business world is harsher on incompetence and weeds out the bads faster than government, which protects its incompetent employees. b) not every city worker is competent. I live in Los Angeles and am a private contractor. Difference between a private contractor doing a job and a city run job, city run jobs on average take far longer to complete, and are far more expensive to do on average. I'm not complaining, I have more work than I can do, turn down jobs, my company has been around for three decades now. I'm only speaking to your comment which is a broad assumption about two very big worlds, spheres of activity that don't really break down to a one-liner as to "this is how it is". Both have excellent, competent people working within their spheres. I'm speaking to tendencies, again there are exceptions to "rules", these are wide spheres of activity.
