An employee of the West Virginia Turnpike was struck and killed at about 11 a.m. Monday, April 14, 2025, while doing asphalt work on the Turnpike.
The worker was struck by a tractor-trailer at mile marker 92.5 southbound on Interstate 77. The section of highway is part of the West Virginia Turnpike.
A Turnpike work crew was patching the center section of the Turnpike with the right lane closed when the accident occurred. The driver of the tractor-trailer swerved to avoid the work zone, but the trailer swung into the work zone and struck the victim.
The driver of the tractor-trailer stopped and is cooperating with authorities. West Virginia State Police are investigating and reviewing video footage from an onboard camera on the tractor-trailer.
