A road worker has been knocked unconscious by a car allegedly speeding through a worksite.
The woman was working the night shift on roadworks at Ratana Hill when the accident happened last Friday, a co-worker said.
"She was just moving some road cones. She was in no way a dangerouszone," said Helen Kuhn, who was working with the victim and saw the car coming up the hill about midnight.
"I noticed he was going quite fast. I was sort of waving him down, but he didn't slow down. She wasn't concentrating on him because we had quite a few cars pass through there."
Miss Kuhn said the victim was standing sideways when the car hit her, knocking her unconscious for several minutes.
