In the past week, two workers lost their lives while working to keep Illinois moving. They were simply doing their jobs, bettering our communities and working to keep the public safe.
They expected to return home to their families, but they did not. Our hearts go out to their loved ones, our partners at the Illinois Department of Transportation, and everyone impacted by these tragedies.
Again: Slow down. Put down the devices. Respect the people working to keep our roads safe. Give them space. These simple actions WILL save lives.
