"It's just sad, very, very sad," Director of Public Works Mohammed Nuru said. "Any time there is an accident - and a fatal accident - in the type of work that we do, it rings a bell through the whole organization. We are reminding people to be cautious and safe. We are reinforcing all of our safety training and asking people ... to be calm." From preliminary information from his staff at the scene, Nuru said it appeared the worker who was killed was in front of the truck on the opposite side from the driver, slipped and was run over.
