Missouri backing over accident in Missouri


Posted on Dec 15, 2008

At a school construction zone in Centralia, Missouri a worker was “accidentally” run over by a fellow worker. This is the second serious construction site accident in the month of November. The equipment was a skid loader that weighs 8,500 pounds.
