MARYLAND (WBFF) — Two Maryland highway workers were killed in separate crashes three days apart — and the union representing them is blaming the state, saying roadside safety has been treated as optional until someone dies.
“In less than a week, the State of Maryland has gotten two of its own workers killed,” AFSCME Local 6368 President Wiley Rhymer said in a statement to The Baltimore Sun.
AFSCME Maryland Council 3 President Patrick Moran, in a separate statement, raised the same question more bluntly: “How many more state workers need to lose their lives before enough is enough?”
State police, meanwhile, urged drivers to follow Maryland’s Move Over Law as investigators continue to review both crashes.
