Speeding in Work Zone Kills Two | Detroit News
Description
A 24-year-old man, Tyler Reck, has been charged with multiple felony counts after a May crash in Michigan that killed two MDOT workers while they repaired potholes. Reck, who turned himself in and was hospitalized with critical injuries, faces up to 15 years per charge if convicted. The victims, Bruce Wagner and Steve Spenle, were part of a troubling trend—22 workplace deaths in Michigan this year alone. With over 6,000 work zone crashes reported last year, including 22 motorist fatalities and three construction worker deaths, the incident underscores the deadly risks faced by crews—and the urgent need for driver vigilance. Authorities are still seeking witnesses as the investigation continues.
