Charges have officially been brought against a construction flagger following a fatal traffic crash that killed a beloved Fort Collins educator. Fifty-three-year-old Catherine “Cate” Withrow, a Boltz Middle School teacher, was walking her bicycle through a repaving work zone when she was struck by a construction semi-truck. Authorities say an investigation revealed the flagger positioned Withrow and himself in an unsafe area outside the truck driver’s line of sight. The traffic flagger now faces a charge of criminally negligent homicide in connection with the tragic incident.
