A street worker has recently been killed in an accident that was on the job.  The accident took place last Friday in Arkansas.  The worker was helping take part in a project on a bridge when a piece of equipment called a grader ran the man over.  The grader struck the worker while the driver of the grader was reversing the machine.

The driver of the machine later stated he believed the other man was standing in another location before the accident took place.  The man was airlifted to hospital shortly following the accident.  The man would later die at the hospital several hours later from his injuries.
