Work at a new housing development in Newport News, Virginia was interrupted this week when a construction worker was killed. The worker, Kirk Giezey, 34, was crushed by a front end loader at the Eastwood Drive development site north of the city.
According to local police, Giezey was riding in the scoop of the front end loader when the accident happened. The loader was being driven by another worker.
Giezey apparently fell out of the scoop and was run over by the vehicle. He was pronounced dead shortly after the accident.
The death of this Virginia construction worker will be investigated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). It is not known if Giezey’s family will receive any workers’ compensation death benefits as a result of his tragic death.
