ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — On Nov. 18, 2021, Missouri Department of Transportation workers Kaitlyn Anderson, 25, and James Brooks, 58, were working on Telegraph Road when a car drove through traffic cones and hit them.
Both workers died at the scene. A third worker, Michael Brown, was seriously injured.
Anderson was six months pregnant at the time. Her unborn son, Jaxx, also died.
"She was just an amazing girl. She loved life, she loved her country and she loved her family," Tonya Musskopf said.
The Missouri Supreme Court heard oral arguments on both sides Wednesday.
"I just couldn't wait to see her be a mom, and I couldn't wait to spoil him. If MoDOT had protected that work zone as the police states, Kaitlyn and Jaxx would be here," Musskopf said.
