AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - A 55-year-old construction worker died after
Auburn officials say he was crushed by a dump truck while directing
heavy equipment on a construction site Monday.
Killed was Ronald Gary Taunton, of Columbus Ga.
Witnesses tell Auburn police the 20-year employee of East
Alabama Paving Company of Opelika was directing the heavy equipment
on the site in the 2600 block of Lee Road 72, when he apparently
failed to move from behind the dump truck in time. Authorities say
the truck backed over him, crushing him and killing him instantly.
The victim was wearing his safety vest and the backup alarm on
the truck was working properly. Officials are investigating the
incident as an accident.
