Police in West Virginia say a highways worker at a construction zone was among three people injured in a crash.

Wayne County sheriff’s deputies tell news outlets the accident occurred Monday along U.S. Route 52 in Fort Gay.

Deputies say the Division of Highways worker was standing on the side of the road holding a sign telling drivers to stop or slow down. Deputies say a delivery truck approaching the construction zone collided with a motorcycle ahead of it, then struck the worker.
