On June 22, 2003, a 51-year-old municipal road worker was killed when he was struck by a small dump truck at a worksite. The victim was part of a work crew that was cleaning the roads in an urban downtown area. Shortly before 8:00 a.m., the crew was taking a break near the intersection of two one-way streets. The victim was talking to the driver of the dump truck and asked him for a cigarette. He then turned away from the truck to light the cigarette as the truck started moving and turning at the intersection. As the truck turned, the side of the truck's bed struck the victim, knocking him to the ground. He was conscious as he was transported to the local emergency room, where he died of his injuries later that day.
