MoDOT Workers Saved by Attenuator | Jefferson City News

Two MoDOT workers are recovering after a tractor-trailer slammed into their truck on I-44, thanks to a critical safety device—the truck-mounted attenuator—that absorbed the impact and saved them from far worse injuries. The driver of the big rig walked away with minor scrapes, but emergency crews had to clean up an oil spill and restore safety to the highway. This crash is a sobering reminder: drivers must slow down and move over when you see highway workers—your caution could save a life.
