Good
morning, My name is Barbara Priester and I was involved in an accident on
6/18 on I-26 westbound. There was a road crew from SCDOT working that
morning. The worker was in the median inching along with his back toward
the concrete median. Where the worker was located caused drivers to stop
abruptly and swerve. This worker contributed to the accident that I was
involved in that morning. The median is no more that 3 feet from the road
and where the worker was located he was in a blind spot that drivers could
not see him until almost upon him. That morning there was heavy traffic
and after the accident occurred, I asked him "Why was he in the road" he
replied "I wasn't, I was clearing debris". I called the office of SCDOT
the following day to file a complaint and I was informed that he was
allowed to be in the street during heavy traffic to clear debris and that
the supervisor did not feel the worker did anything wrong. I strongly
disagree! I called the Columbia office to file a complaint and I was
forwarded back to the Charleston branch. I then left an message for Mr.
Paul(843-740-1665) in which I have not received any follow up or call
back. This message was left June 20th. I have since seen the SCDOT workers
on I-26 and now have to take an alternate route to work due to the
carelessness of these workers. I asked for that incident to be addressed
and it has not, It is now apparent that that department had not intentions
on addressing my complaint. I am not sure what can be done, but my
complaint should have been addressed and not swept under the proverbial
rug. Thank you for your
time
