@nbcnewyork: One construction worker died, and two others were hurt, one of them seriously, when a vehicle hit them at a Long Island intersection early Monday, according to police. Suffolk County police confirmed three construction workers were hit shortly before 7 a.m. Police say they were contractors on a paving project for Suffolk County. A worker at the scene says one of the two injured workers lost a leg. Chopper 4 showed more than a half-dozen emergency vehicles blocking off the intersection.

Driver was incoherent in the early morning, probably on alcohol or drugs. Give the guy a life sentence

Incoherent? Sounds like a DUI of some kind. Prescription medication can intoxicate someone just as much as alcohol can 😞

The majority of drivers simply don’t care. After years of working on Long Island roads, I’ve watched people move traffic cones, ignore roadwork signs, drive into oncoming traffic to get around closures, blow through work zones, and scream at us because “they have to get to work” while clearly marked detours are right in front of them. People forget that construction workers are just trying to do their jobs and make it home to their families too. When someone ignores a work zone, the consequences aren’t just a ticket or a few minutes saved. Someone can be killed and others seriously injured, exactly like what happened here.

The speeding, tailgating, entitlement and lack of care for anyone else on the road has been out of control on Long Island for far too long

Prayers to the workers and families. 🙏🏻Another accident and tragedy that could have been avoided with Tesla FSD. Government should offer a rebate again for getting FSD and insurance should go down. ✌🏻

Not an excuse, but sleep deprivation is just as dangerous as drunk/drugged driving. So sorry for all.
