A Texas man was killed in a construction site accident at Palestine High School on Thursday morning.
The work accident victim, a 26-year-old man whose name has not been released, was working under a portable building which had recently been moved to the PHS campus.
Preliminary investigations into the construction site accident indicate that the ground was saturated because of recent rainfall. As a result, the portable building shifted and fell off of the supporting jacks underneath it, killing the man working beneath the building.
The floor of the portable structure had to be cut in order to reach the victim who was trapped under the building, according to police. Once the work accident victim was reached, he was apparently already deceased.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by Pearce Gary Thomas, the Anderson County Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace.
