Last Friday I was on a job site, standing at the back of a dump truck pouring asphalt into a large cut out section of the street. Suddenly a car came flying through the construction zone and hit one of the orange barrels positioned directly behind me.
The barrel flies into me hitting me in the back and knocks me into the pit.
It was only a short drop, I landed on my feet, dusted myself off. Shook my fist at the driver while swearing and went back to work.

Here it it a week later, and I finally went to urgent care yesterday because my left heel had been sore all week and the heavy limping was slowing me down. After they took some x-rays it turns out I have a bone chip and a fracture in my heel. So now I'm on crutches for at least a week which means I can't work.

So to all of you out there that don't know how to slow down through a construction site, next time you may have somthing heavy like a damn jackhammer come smashing through your windshield.

SLOW DOWN!

Sorry about your injury. Hope you get better soon. I can't stand bad drivers. I always slow down through construction areas. They should put up cameras around work sites to catch A**holes like that.
