BC Road Commisson worker suffers non-life threatening injuries on the job

A Barry County Road Commission employee working in a construction zone in Prairieville Township was hospitalized for treatment of non-life threatening injuries today after being struck by a vehicle driven by an 80-year-old Plainwell man.

Vehicles with flashing yellow lights and flaggers were at the north and south ends, directing traffic on the one-lane roadway.

Pride Care Ambulance transported the unidentified road commission employee to Borgess Hospital for treatment. Alcohol was not a factor and seatbelts were used.  The incident remains under investigation and will be reviewed by the Barry County Prosecutor’s Office.
