The Washoe County Sheriff's Office says a man was arrested for driving at a high rate of speed in a construction zone and struck a worker while trying to flee.Â
At approximately 2:00PM on September 29th, 2022, Washoe County Sheriff's Office Deputies responded to the report of an incident involving a vehicle in a construction zone near 14070 Red Rock Road.
Â
Workers on site reported that a car had been running through the construction zone at a high rate of speed and that a flagger had nearly been struck.
Â
The vehicle quickly returned to the construction zone and struck a stop sign, being held by a worker.
Â
Additional workers managed to stop the vehicle, however, the driver put the car in reverse and drove around the workers, this time striking a man in the hand with a side mirror.
Â
On October 3, 2022, the same driver and vehicle returned to the Red Rock construction zone and sped through the area again.
Â
This time, WCSO Deputies were able to stop the vehicle and arrested Vincent Delimios (DOB 9/19/1999) on multiple charges.
Â
Delimios was charged with two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon (vehicle), two misdemeanor counts of reckless disregard for persons/property, resisting arrest, driving without a license and display of an invalid vehicle plate/registration/title.

The WCSO reminds drivers to please slow down and obey all traffic laws and construction workers instructions while driving in construction zones.
