A road construction accident in Amenia, New York, left one worker dead on Wednesday, July 29. The man, a New York resident, was operating an Ingersoll-Rand asphalt roller when he fell off of the piece of heavy machinery and was then hit by the construction equipment.
New York State Troopers identified the New York construction accident victim as 23-year-old Donald Flood III of Wassaic, New York. The accident took place early on Wednesday afternoon in Dutchess County, about 60 miles from Albany, New York, near 41 Benson Road.
The Dutchess County Sheriff's Office, the county Office of the Medical Examiner, the Wassaic Fire Department and Northern Dutchess Paramedics assisted state police at the scene.
The NY on-the-job accident took place as workers were laying down asphalt on a road construction site. New York officials told reporters that the investigation into this NY construction site accident is continuing. Police are still unsure of why Flood may have fallen off the asphalt machine.

The accident was really a tragic one which left one dead. But given the nature of a construction site, accidents are sadly not uncommon. Construction site accidents range from collapsed scaffolding and ladders to electrocution, faulty flooring or ceilings, falling objects, forklift accidents and defective equipment. However, there are laws in place regarding the safety of construction sites. If you've been injured in a construction accident, you may have a viable lawsuit and may want to consider a free consultation with a personal injury lawyer who has experience in construction accident cases. If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled or already receiving workers' compensation. Still, wherever you are in the process, it can only help you to talk to a lawyer with experience in this type of law. . For more information visit Workplace Accidents .
