A 45-year-old construction worker died June 2 on a Seattle highway project after he was pinned between the flatbed of a semi-truck and an 11,000-lb steel beam, said Kristin Tinsley, a city fire department spokeswoman.
The worker, whose identity and project site role were not disclosed, was killed on the $455-million State Route 520 Montlake Phase project, Tinsley said, adding a 911 call came in to the department at about 5 p.m. PST.
