Construction Worker Killed at Kansas State
Steven E. Darveaux was killed after he fell from a forklift box at the Jardine Apartment Complex construction site at Kansas State University. Another worker also fell, but suffered only minor injuries. Darveaux and Timothy W. Hanes had gotten into a forklift box to be lowered to ground level. However, the side of the box began to tip, causing both men to fall from the box onto the ground. The forklift box hit Darveaux while he was on the ground.
Darveaux did not regain consciousness after the incident, even though EMS workers were present at the scene. Both workers involved in the accident were employed by a subcontractor of McPherson Construction Company.
