A Davenport teenager faces several charges after a worker was killed in a construction zone last week. 18 year old Sebon Reese is being held for homicide by vehicle, reckless driving, and eluding police.

Reese was arrested Tuesday in East Moline, and is now being held in the Scott County jail.

Last Thursday a speeding car crashed into a construction zone on Highway 61 near Blue Grass, and killed 62 year old Willie Holley of Rock Island, an employee of Valley Construction.
