A Gwinnett County Water Resource employee was killed Thursday when he was the victim of a hit-and-run while directing traffic around a construction site.

Constantin George Bolof, 60, of Auburn, was working at an active site at the intersection of Oak Grove Road and Henderson Lake Drive at the time of the crash, Gwinnett police said in a news release.
