Wayne Township, PA (July 09, 2025) – A flagger was injured Wednesday afternoon after being struck by a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) utility vehicle on Wampum Road in Wayne Township.
The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. when the utility vehicle entered a work zone, but due to traffic confusion, both lanes of travel were in motion at the same time. The driver of the car attempted to avoid a collision but ended up veering off the right side of the road. The vehicle’s front passenger side mirror struck the flagger, who was working for Fiber and Cable Specialist, Inc.
The flagger was transported by ambulance to UPMC Presbyterian for further evaluation and treatment. No other injuries were reported.
We hope for the full recovery of the injured flagger.
Personal Injury Lawsuits in Pennsylvania
Injury-causing accidents are common across Northern Pennsylvania, particularly on winding rural highways such as Route 6, US-219, and PA-49, where the combination of heavy trucks, narrow lanes, and snow-covered roads increases the risk of collisions. Industrial work zones and icy sidewalks in small towns and outlying areas also contribute to serious incidents throughout the region. Many of these accidents result in fractures, head injuries, or back trauma, which often require emergency care, rehabilitation, and time away from work. Victims may face not only physical pain but also financial strain and emotional distress during the recovery process. Because these cases often involve multiple factors and complex fault assessments, working with experienced personal injury lawyers in Pennsylvania can help ensure that your case is handled with precision and local insight.
