Missouri State Highway Patrol and construction workers urging for more caution from drivers
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) – Authorities are strongly urging drivers to use more caution after the death of a MoDOT worker who was hit by a semi-truck near Sedalia this week.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol and construction workers want drivers to pay attention and give them space to work.
”Don’t just look at the signs and see that there are signs. They’re there to keep the construction worker safe,” said Jeremy Willcock with Hartman and Company Construction.
Willcock didn’t start working in the industry yesterday. He’s been on the job for years. So, he knows the dangers that come with the work.
“If you don’t know what it’s like, walk up next to a highway at some point, and you can actually feel the vibration from the vehicles, especially the 18 wheelers,” he says.
The new plea for caution comes after the recent death of 60-year-old Jay Bone. The MoDOT worker hit and killed. The driver, however, is just 18 years old.
“It’s concerning to us that we talk about this every year. We offer training, but we do not see the trends moving in the right direction, in a safer direction,” said Willcock.
Missouri’s Move Over Law requires drivers to change lanes when approaching any emergency vehicles or MoDOT vehicles when it’s safe.
”Its intent is to provide, you know, safety and security,” said Sgt. Mike McClure with Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Troop D.
State troopers say whether you see workers on site or not, reduced speed limits are still in effect.
“Speed Limit through that zone is active, 24/7. But it becomes crucial when we have those construction workers present on site, then the fines go up if you are in violation of particularly the speed limit,” said Sgt. McClure.
The construction worker says the solution isn’t as simple as wearing high-visibility gear. Willcock says the solution is for drivers to pay attention while out on the road.
“There are a lot of signs out there through work zones, and a lot of them are repetitive, but they’re there and repetitive for a reason.”

A fundraiser on Friday helped raise money for a mid-Missouri family’s effort to get their daughter medical treatment.
Hurts Donut from Springfield, Mo., traveled to Ashland to help the Kroeckel family raise money for their daughter, Harper’s, life-changing medical treatment in Italy.
“After exhausting available treatment options in the United States, the family is now pursuing specialized care that offers new hope for her future,” wrote the Hurts Donut shop in a press release. “Because the treatment, travel expenses and extended medical stays are not covered by insurance, the family is facing more than $85,000 in out-of-pocket costs.”
Harper had been born prematurely at 35 weeks and admitted to the NICU, where a nurse discovered a spot that they assumed to be diaper rash on her bottom. However, further inspection led to her diagnosis of Capillary Malformation-Arteriovenous Malformation, or CM-AVM.
CM-AVM is a genetic mutation at the cellular level that causes blood vessels in certain areas to be tangled, causing swelling, pressure, chronic pain and, in some instances, bleeding. In Harper’s case, it could potentially spread to her spine or brain.
The donut shop set up shop at the Ashland Optimists Club and donated 100% of its Special Tribute donut sales to the Kroeckel family, as well as 10% of the proceeds from its dozen donut sales.

UPDATE: Well-known mid-Missouri attorney charged after sting expected to request home detention | 93.9 The Eagle
A prominent mid-Misssouri attorney has pleaded NOT guilty to a felony charge of enticement or attempted enticement of a child.
56-year-old Daniel Walter Follett is charged in Boone County Circuit Court. He had served as the Missouri Department of Revenue’s (DOR) general counsel until he was fired after last week’s arrest.
Court documents filed by Boone County prosecutors say Follett was allegedly using a prostitution website “to solicit sexual services from a person whom he believed to be a 16-year-old child.” The Boone County Sheriff’s Department’s probable cause statement says Follett allegedly arrived at an address in Boone County last week to pay money to have sex with a female whom he believed was under the age of 17.
Follett, who is currently jailed without bond, is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday afternoon before Judge Kimberly Shaw and is expected to request home detention, based on online court records.
939 the Eagle News contacted the Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) after Follett’s arrest. DOR released a statement about Follett’s arrest and status last week. It reads: “The Department is aware of an out-of-office incident involving a staff member who was arrested and charged with criminal activity. Following departmental procedures, employment has been terminated with the individual.”
What’s next: Follett is scheduled to appear in Boone County Circuit Court on Tuesday at 1 pm for a bond hearing before Judge Kimberly Shaw. Follett is represented by defense attorney Jessica Caldera, a former Boone County assistant prosecutor. Follett is expected to request home detention from the court until his trial. Boone County prosecutors have described Follett in a court filing as a flight risk.
