Highway worker injured in Vacaville work zone crash involving stolen car.

A contract crew highway worker suffered major injuries after being hit by a carjacking suspect in an SUV that entered an active construction zone on Interstate 80 in Solano County. Caltrans is widening the highway between Vacaville and Fairfield as part of the Solano I-80 Managed Lanes project. The incident serves as a reminder of how dangerous highway workers' jobs can be, and Caltrans is urging California drivers to be more mindful of highway worker safety by minding speed, avoiding distractions, and making space for workers on the road. Caltrans will hold workers' memorials throughout the week and honor its nearly 200 employees who've lost their lives on the job since 1921 on Thursday at the state Capitol.
