Tragic Loss in Tennessee Work Zone | Nashville News
Description
A Tennessee DOT worker, Cathy Sims, died tragically when her maintenance vehicle was struck by a CSX train while attempting to cross active tracks in Haywood County. Despite warning signals and lowering gates, she tried to reverse and then accelerate to clear the crossing — a desperate move that ended in fatal collision. The community of Stanton mourns her loss, while authorities investigate. This heartbreaking incident underscores the urgent need for work zone safety, especially as summer maintenance ramps up. TDOT’s “one is too many” campaign reminds drivers to slow down and move over — because every worker deserves to go home safely.
