【视频】两月内6名道路施工人员被撞身亡 加州交通厅全线停工复查安全

Sacramento——加州交通厅(Caltrans)10月8日发布消息称,自今年8月10日以来,全州已有6名承包商施工人员在道路施工中被撞身亡,其中包括9月25日在Riverside County布莱斯(Blythe)附近10号州际公路施工区的一起事故——50岁的阿方索·维加·托雷斯(Alfonso Vega Torres)、39岁的弗朗西斯科·莫拉莱斯·门多萨(Francisco Morales Mendoza)与27岁的克里斯托弗·贝纳维德斯·危地马拉(Christopher Benavidez Guatemala)三人不幸罹难。交通厅已下令全系统「安全暂停」(safety stand-down),全面复查路边作业安全程序,并将设立一个高管级安全委员会。
交通厅厅长迪娜·埃尔-塔万西(Dina El-Tawansy)在记者会上表示:「六条生命的逝去令人痛心。每一位工人都有家人、有自己的生活,他们理应每天平安回家。」州交通署(CalSTA)署长托克斯·奥米沙金(Toks Omishakin)表示,这些数字背后是一个个家庭,在改善道路的同时必须保障施工人员的安全。交通厅称,相关事故的主要成因是驾驶员分心、酒驾毒驾与疏忽驾驶。
交通厅同时提醒,加州「移道法」(Move Over law)自今年1月1日起扩大适用范围:驾驶员在高速公路上接近任何闪着警示灯的静止车辆时,都必须变道避让或减速。交通厅已与加州公路巡警(CHP)协调加强施工区执法,并呼吁驾驶员行经施工区时减速、专心驾驶。

[Video] Six Road Workers Killed in Two Months; Caltrans Orders Systemwide Safety Stand-Down
SACRAMENTO — Caltrans announced on October 8 that six contractor roadway workers have been struck and killed across California since August 10, including three men killed on September 25 in a work zone on Interstate 10 near Blythe in Riverside County: Alfonso Vega Torres, 50, Francisco Morales Mendoza, 39, and Christopher Benavidez Guatemala, 27. The department has ordered a systemwide safety stand-down to review roadside safety procedures and will establish an executive-level safety committee.
"Six lives lost is heartbreaking. Every worker has a family and a life — they deserve to go home safe every day," Caltrans Director Dina El-Tawansy said at a press conference. CalSTA Secretary Toks Omishakin said the numbers represent families, and that workers must be protected while roads are improved. Caltrans said the leading factors in the crashes are distracted driving, impaired driving and inattention.
Caltrans also noted that California's Move Over law was expanded effective January 1: drivers approaching any stationary vehicle displaying flashing lights on a freeway must move over or slow down. The department is coordinating stepped-up work-zone enforcement with the California Highway Patrol and is urging drivers to slow down and stay focused through work zones.
