BEACON – A construction flagger was struck by a vehicle on Route 9D in the City of Beacon Wednesday morning at around 9:10 a.m.

State Police said the investigation determined the flagger was directing traffic in a construction zone when a vehicle bypassed two cars stopped at a temporary traffic signal.

Despite repeated verbal commands from the flagger to stop, the driver, later identified as Rrezart Bajramaj, 333, of Wappinger, continued driving southbound toward the flagger.

The vehicle advanced twice, making contact with the flagger’s legs, before reversing and leaving the scene.

Troopers located Bajramaj at her home in Wappinger where she was taken into custody.

She was charged with reckless endangerment and issued an appearance ticket returnable to Fishkill Town Court in October.
