Sky 4 Flies Over Fatal Construction Site

The 40-year-old man, a subcontractor for the city of Rochester Hills, was run over by a cement truck while working at a construction site at Butler's Ridge between Squirrel Road and Adams, according to Local 4 reports.

The man's job was to test concrete and stone to make sure it meets standards. He reportedly poured a sample into a wheelbarrow and was taking it to his truck when he heard the beeping signal from the cement truck that was backing up, according to reports.

Witnesses say he was hurrying to get out of the way of the truck when he stumbled over the wheelbarrow and was run over by the vehicle.

The man was taken to Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The victim's name was not being released pending notification of family members.
