Roving construction crews - the kind you see blacktopping a road, painting lines, inspecting a bridge or installing a traffic signal - are often protected from oncoming traffic by a specialized truck outfitted with a crash barrier.

The crash trucks, fitted with a device called a truck-mounted attenuator, have been credited with saving lives. But the workers who drive them are inevitably placed in harm's way, "literally waiting to be struck," said Robert Roy, president of Royal Truck & Equipment Inc. in Coopersburg.

Terrence Howard needed a break.

He stood up from his seat, declared "I'm angry right now" and, with permission, stepped out of the room. Howard wasn't channeling Lucious Lyon, his character from the smash Fox series "Empire."
