One worker was killed and another injured Oct. 3 when a mobile crane toppled while working on a highway widening project in Orlando, Fla. The Orange County Sheriff's Office confirms that the Occupational Health and Safety Administration is investigating the incident.
Local news media reported the crane fell on top of the two workers. When it toppled, the crane was installing one of seven noise wall panels as part of the SR 417 Corridor Capacity Improvements Project, which is expanding the roadway from four to six lanes for more than four miles, says Brian Hutchings, manager of community engagement for the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX).
