An employee of Motley-Motley Inc. of Pullman was fatally injured this morning at a city of Moscow construction site.
The man, whose name has not been released, was transported to Gritman Medical Center with serious injuries after a tractor with a rolling pin attached to its front tipped over and trapped him beneath it.
The accident occurred at the City Booster Station Project site near the Moscow Water Tower Park, west of the Troy Highway, at approximately 9:30 a.m.
Initial reports from the scene indicate the man was not breathing and had serious injuries when emergency personnel arrived. Moscow Volunteer Fire Department, EMS and the Moscow Police Department all responded.
The man reportedly had a pulse when he was transported to Gritman but was pronounced deceased at the hospital.
City Supervisor Gary Riedner said he could not comment except to say there had been an industrial accident.
