Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) members Tim Haire, a DOT sign crew worker, and DOT Sign Crew Supervisor Lois Marshall looking down from above into the culvert where they found Glen Smith, an injured driver whose truck went into the culvert along Route 89 in Ithaca, New York. The two Ithaca state Department of Transportation workers are credited with saving the life of Smith. They were repairing a road sign that had been knocked down when they noticed tire tracks ending abruptly on the side of a small hill by a deep culvert and decided to investigate. Smith was suffering from exposure. Because the site was not easy to find, the only way someone would have seen Smith was if they were walking and looking for him.
