He was sitting between a warning light and the truck towing it, when they were rammed by a van.

Motorway traffic tends to max out at 120, so you need to get your speedo checked.

Re: Vehicle hits worker in highway
Well said Mouse,I have driven on the highway hundreds of times to Nicosia from Paphos and any roadworks or especially when they cone off one lane for central reservation work,most people don't slow down,sooo many times those poor bloody workers have vehicles inches away from them doing stupid speeds,it's the same in the tunnel many people drive so fast through there
Re: Vehicle hits worker in highway
How do you know the driver was speeding, you're only surmising he was? Could have been caused by a number of things, distracted, puncture, mechanical failure etc. I believe the article said the Police were investigating so we shall have to wait on the outcome.
