Burton, Michigan – A construction worker died while he was working at N. Belsay Road y E. Potter Road.
The accident happened last Tuesday, November 21, at about 10 p.m., when the construction worker was trapped in a hole full of water. A 400-pound, 12-inch main water valve was disconnected from the water pipe, causing the worker’s hole to fill up too quickly with water.
Absolutely amazing they got a pulse back. Pulling for him: “Man in ‘extremely critical condition’ after 20 minutes in water-filled pit” https://t.co/BGfxGkhngI pic.twitter.com/SMVzLkUaaq
