A driver struck Lyndon Ebker who was flagging drivers in a work zone in Franklin County.

A MODOT worker from the bootheel says he was struck by another vehicle in 2017 while in a work zone truck.

During this National Work Zone Awareness Week, Willie Jones says a vehicle slammed into his truck along I-55 while he was spraying a median near Haiti.

Jones, who has worked for MODOT for 13 years, walked away from that crash without any injuries.

He says he has had several other close calls while on duty, along with several other MODOT workers.
