Heart-stopping moment worker comes within inches of being pulverized

State Department of Transportation employee Chuck Ellerson, 61, was busy mowing and clearing garbage from Interstate 81 near Whitney Point when he noticed the rapidly approaching Penske truck.

Sandwiched between two DOT vehicles parked on the highway's shoulder, Ellerson saw the yellow box truck hugging the shoulder a little too tightly before throwing his hands up.
