Tragic Work Zone Accident in Lincoln County Highlights Need for Legal Support
Back in October, tragedy struck the Yawkey area of Lincoln County, West Virginia, as a dedicated worker tragically lost his life while performing his duties. Venancio Santos, a flagger for a tree company, was struck by a pickup truck on Midway Road (WV State Route 214) in a roadway work zone. The driver failed to stop, leading to devastating consequences. Despite being rushed to the hospital, Santos later succumbed to his injuries.
This heartbreaking event serves as a stark reminder of how vulnerable workers, pedestrians, and loved ones can be when negligence occurs. Accidents like these leave families grappling with both emotional anguish and practical challenges, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and the need for answers and accountability.
