Worker killed in construction accident
By BLAINE CRIMMINS, Staff writer
At about 9:30 a.m. today, The Colony Police Department received a 9-1-1 call from a construction site at the Office Creek Pump Station in the 4100 block of Main Street. The caller reported that a worker was run over and dragged by a semi-trailer truck at the site.
CPR was started on the injured man at the scene. When police and medical units arrived, the victim was transported to Trinity Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Police units immediately shut down the construction site and began an investigation, which determined that the victim was doing some type of mechanical work under the truck when the driver, unaware of the victim’s location, began to drive away from the site. The victim was spotted by other workers, who told the driver to stop, and then called 9-1-1.
The police department does not anticipate criminal charges being filed at this time. The name of the victim has not yet been released pending notification of the family.
The construction workers were not city employees, but were contracted by the city for the construction. Work at the site includes the drilling of a new well.
