I worked for many years in road construction and the tendency of some drivers to for unknown reasons to drift toward the workers and construction vehicles, is a well known phenomena.
Workers have been struck in wide medians, 30 feet away from the travelled way. Some of it is some unconscious reaction or maybe falling asleep at the wheel. Some is deliberate. I find as I get older, I can take my eye off the road for only about one second or less.
Check the channel that shows the police cars that are struck by passing vehicles. And those police cars have plenty of flashing multi-colored strobe lights. Cell phones and alcohol also play a role.
Changing a tire along an interstate is probably the most dangerous ac most civilians will ever perform. Stranded drivers and passengers are often victims too. Stay away from traffic, behind guard rail if possible.
Federal Highway Admin. Or National Traffic Safety sites may have some info or terms.
