CONSTRUCTION WORKER IS HIT AND KILLED BY SPEEDING CAR ON INTERSTATE 80 - 94 IN INDIANA
A construction worker was killed while on the job on the Indiana section of Interstate 80/94 Tuesday morning.
45-year-old Christopher Jenkins of Valparaiso, Indiana, was patching potholes in a construction zone at about 1:30 a.m. when he was hit by a 1993 Mercury Cougar. The driver attempted to flee, however, a co-worker stood in front of the car to prevent the driver from fleeing. Recognizing this, the driver got out of the car and ran away. State troopers and Lake Station officers have not located the driver; however, they have found items possibly identifying him inside the car.
Jenkins was an employee Walsh Construction of Gary, Indiana.
