Employee killed when run over by backing concrete truck

At approximately 12:10 p.m. on October 3, 2007, Employee #1 was at a road construction project at mile marker 6.5 on Route 309 in Ambler, PA.

As the truck proceeded, Employee #1, who was still talking on his cell phone, walked into the truck's path and was run over. Employee #1 was killed.
