州长霍楚下令纽约州全州降半旗一日：悼念10月19日除草作业中殉职的高速公路工人贾米尔·威尔逊
纽约州州长凯西·霍楚下令，10月30日全州州属建筑降半旗，悼念在威彻斯特县白原市横贯威彻斯特高速公路上作业时殉职的州高速公路管理局工人贾米尔·威尔逊。
威尔逊在州高速公路管理局横贯威彻斯特高速公路养护段工作已有六年，10月19日在进行除草作业时受致命伤。霍楚在公告中说，威尔逊身后留下未婚妻、两个孩子和其他亲人。
降半旗时间为10月30日日出至日落，当晚横跨哈德逊河的州长马里奥·科莫大桥还将亮起橙色灯光纪念威尔逊。
州高速公路管理局负责纽约州收费高速公路系统的养护与运营，横贯威彻斯特高速公路是威彻斯特县东西向交通干道之一。霍楚下令降半旗是纽约州对因公殉职公职人员的惯常悼念方式，大桥亮灯则让过往司机也能在夜里看到这份纪念。州政府未在公告中公布事故的进一步调查细节，威尔逊的葬礼安排也未随公告披露。

Governor Hochul Orders Flags at Half-Staff Statewide for Thruway Worker Jamil Wilson, Fatally Injured While Mowing on October 19
White Plains, Westchester County, New York — Governor Kathy Hochul has ordered flags on state buildings to be flown at half-staff statewide on October 30 in honor of Jamil Wilson, a State Thruway Authority worker who was fatally injured while working on the Cross Westchester Expressway in White Plains.
Wilson had worked in the Thruway Authority's Cross Westchester Expressway Maintenance Section for six years and was fatally injured on October 19 while performing mowing operations. Hochul's announcement said Wilson is survived by his fiancee, two children and other loved ones.
Flags will fly at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on October 30, and the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge across the Hudson River will be illuminated orange that evening in Wilson's memory.
The Thruway Authority maintains and operates New York's toll highway system, and the Cross Westchester Expressway is one of Westchester County's main east-west routes. Ordering flags to half-staff is New York's customary tribute to public employees killed in the line of duty, and the bridge lighting lets passing drivers share in the remembrance. The state did not release further investigation details in the announcement, and funeral arrangements were not disclosed.
