Another flagman at an I-80 accident narrowly escapes being hit

This one comes to us from The Gazette's Tom Lutey in Wyoming. The 20-year-old driver died after slamming into an emergency traffic control vehicle, whatever that might be. It all started when a bus with a flat tire caught fire and was burning. Traffic was diverted and this driver came along at 80-mph didn't heed the warnings ahead and slamming right into the emergency vehicle. Just before crashing a flagman had to jump to safety to avoid being hit and more than likely killed. What was her distraction that caused her to not see what was clearly ahead? Was it a cell phone? Or could it be texting or talking and not paying attention? At 20-years-of-age she had her whole life ahead of her. Now she is dead. A terrible waste of life is what this is.
