A Department of Transportation worker was killed in a crash early Sunday while crews removed sand from N.C. Highway 12 in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and the recent nor’easter that hit the Outer Banks.
According to state troopers, DOT employee Ronnie Anderson’s dump truck broke down in the middle of N.C. 12 South on Pea Island and was rear-ended by a second dump DOT dump truck, driven by Michael Brad Stevenson. Anderson’s dump truck flipped over, and Stevenson’s truck caught on fire.
Stevenson, 36, of Hertford, was killed in the crash, troopers said. Anderson, 45, of Sunbury, was transported to Norfolk General Hospital, where he was in good condition.
