A 48-year old male worker has been killed at a highway construction site in Delta B.C., after being hit by a dump truck on July 11.
“The initial reports indicate that a dump truck ran over a spotter, who may have been a TCP (Traffic Control Person,” said Donna Freeman, spokesperson with WorkSafeBC. “It is a fatality and WorkSafeBC officers have been sent to the scene. The coroner was also dispatched to the scene.”
The incident happened on the South Fraser Perimeter Road, near River Road River Road.
