A construction worker was hit by a car while he was picking up cones on State Road 417 early Friday morning, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers said the car was traveling south in the left lane and as he approached slower traffic, he failed to stop and drove into the right lane, hitting 42-year-old Shawn Grant.
Grant was thrown over the guardrail and went down an embankment, troopers said.
He was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center with serious injuries, FHP said.
The driver, Joshua Mann, 28, was ticketed for failure to maintain a single lane, a news release said.
