Construction worker dead after main water pipe burst

A construction worker is dead after being trapped in a trench amid a water main break. A total of two workers were stuck under water and mud up in the villages. Unfortunately, only one made it out alive. This all happened at a construction site in Sumter County right off the turnpike. Matt Trezza is live there now in the villages with the latest. So, Matt, what can you tell us? Yeah, the water main just burst, trapping these two workers. One made it out. One of them didn't. It happened yesterday at around 8 a.m. Photos from the scene show the gaping pit where the accident happened. Villages officials tell us construction crews were working inside an excavation trench when a pressurized water main ruptured. They say water burst out, knocking two workers into the excavation pit. One worker was able to escape with serious injuries, while a second worker was trapped beneath the water and mud and later pronounced dead. Orlando attorney Albert Yonfa isn't connected with the case. He says the surviving worker and the family of the deceased one will have lots of avenues to file lawsuits. Could be a contractor, a subcontractor, maybe even the utility company if it was not maintained or even the manufacturer of the pipe down the road. So there is some recourse to the family here. Village officials say firefighters and paramedics arrived on scene about five minutes of dispatch and immediately started assessing the situation, providing medical care and coordinating specialized rescue operations. They say the amount of water and mud made it tough even for special teams to free the trapped worker. Yonfa says OSHA will investigate the incident thoroughly. They take it very, very seriously, especially when you're talking about a death. Their investigation is going to be extremely thorough. They're going to be looking at anybody who had any involvement in this construction, from surveyors, contractors, subcontractors, the utility company, absolutely everyone. The investigation will be thorough, and it will take some time. OSHA hasn't gotten back to us yet as to when their investigators will be on scene. Live in the villages, Matt Trezza, Fox 35 News.
