This month we pay tribute to and remember these
WSDOT employees who died in work zone incidents:

Donald G. Barden, Nov. 20, 1969, Northwest Region, Maintenance Technician 2. Donald was killed when an errant driver struck a WSDOT truck, knocking it into Donald and a co-worker who were repairing a guardrail. The co-worker survived.
