PennDOT flag man hit by car, dies at construction zone in East Hanover Township, Lebanon CountyBy BARBARA MILLER, The Patriot-News

A PennDOT flag man was killed this morning after being struck by a vehicle on Gravel Hill Road a mile south of Route 22 in East Hanover Twp., Lebanon County, said Greg Penny, PennDOT spokesman. Thomas R. Allen, 57, of the 300 block of Acorn Circle, Lebanon, died of injuries in the 9:40 a.m. accident, Penny said.
The accident occurred when a northbound Isuzu Amigo driven by Jared C. Geibe, 24, of Palmyra, came over the crest of a hill and veered to avoid a vehicle Allen had already stopped. Geibe swerved right to avoid hitting the stopped vehicle, and ran onto the right berm and partially up an embankment before hitting Allen, state police said.
Allen had worked for PennDOT since September 2007, Penny said, and was an equipment operator and flagger.
Traffic was being stopped for a PennDOT work crew that was cutting back ground along the shoulder of the road, Penny said.
