New York State Thruway Authority

Today marks 8 years since the tragic death of our friend and colleague Ron Deming. Ron was killed while assisting a motorist on the shoulder of the Thruway in October 2016. Ron was a loving husband, father, friend and grandfather. Throughout the 70-year history of the Thruway, 21 employees have tragically lost their lives while on duty. The next time you see a construction zone, flashing lights, roadside workers - think of Ron and slow down, move over, and be alert. Lives depend on it. 👷♀️🚧👷♂️
