The State Patrol said operators Michael Sirek, 39, and Parker Swanson, 23, of Faribault, were working to remove a vehicle from the center median when they were hit.
Police say the vehicle, a black 2006 Lincoln MKZ, was driven by Marlon Fleming, 39, who faces charges of criminal vehicular operation and leaving the scene of a collision.
