Just one, of the many stories...
"Road worker killed in construction zone
Pittsburgh -- A motorist struck and killed a construction worker Wednesday morning along a busy stretch of Painters Run Road in Mt. Lebanon.
James Vena, 48, of Meyersdale, Somerset County, was taken to St. Clair Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 9:20 a.m., about a half-hour after the accident near the road's intersection with Cedar Boulevard. An autopsy is expected to be completed today."

As a NY'er we have far too many watching others work
and they clog up the highways and byways all over the area.
20 guys, only few work and the rest watch...
Next time you're in construction traffic, see for yourself!
