LINCOLN, NE -- Today, Governor Jim Pillen joined leadership from the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) and the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) urging drivers to reduce speeds, put down their phones, and keep their attention on the road. Yesterday, an NDOT worker was injured while assisting at the scene of a crash east of Lexington on Interstate 80. The driver was parked on the shoulder of the interstate in an NDOT arrow truck and was helping to direct traffic due to an earlier crash. That's when he was struck from behind by a semi-truck.
