WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — Federal investigators say a construction worker who died in Williston was crushed by roof rafters as workers unloaded them from a trailer.
The Forum newspaper reports that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has not released the man's name. He worked for R&J Building Contractors of Branson, Mo.
OSHA Assistant Area Director Eric Brooks says the man cut a metal band holding the rafters together before they collapsed on top of him Tuesday night at a construction site.
OSHA is continuing to investigate.
