Employee killed when masonry block wall collapses

Employee #1, an electrician, was standing by an electrical box approximately 24 feet away from an 8-inch masonry block wall that had been completed 2 hours earlier.

Several masonry blocks struck Employee #1 about the head and body, inflicting severe head injuries and causing his death.
