A construction worker sustained serious injuries after being hit by a hit-and-run driver on Interstate 95 north in Foxborough Monday morning, Massachusetts State Police said.
Police responded to the crash at mile marker 15.5 around 2:15 a.m. They rendered first aid to the man and applied a tourniquet to his leg. Troopers successfully controlled the bleeding and engaged the man in conversation until emergency medical services arrived, State Police said in a statement.
Police determined the man was hit by a vehicle as he retrieved a sign from the beginning of a detail setup. Troopers found a passenger-side mirror at the scene, State Police said.
“The Massachusetts State Police offers the victim and his family our deepest sympathy in the aftermath of this senseless crash,” said Tim McGurik, a department spokesman, in the statement. “Although he is expected to live, the impact of his injuries illustrates the danger of failing to drive with care in and around work zones.”
Anyone with information about the crash is urged to report it to State Police at 508-543-8550.
