Kareem was walking the site to adjust cones when Kevin saw a burgundy vehicle with distracted passengers traveling in the outer northbound lanes and quickly merging across all lanes of traffic—heading straight for Kareem. Kevin immediately alerted Kareem to the potential danger so he could get out of the way. “My first thought when I saw the vehicle heading toward his direction, was that someone was in trouble and I had to help. I have learned through working here that we watch out for each other, our clients, and the public,” said Kevin. Kareem jumped out of the way just in time. The vehicle ran through the cones before crashing into an empty parking lot on the side of the road. “I knew this job was dangerous,” said Kareem looking back on the experience. “I am so thankful for Kevin being on my site that day. I have been sharing my story with others in the field about how important it is to stay alert.” Thanks to Kevin’s quick response to the oncoming danger, he, Kareem, and the client all went home safe at the end of the day.
