Preliminary Report Overview

On May 15, 2012, the victim was helping pour concrete in a 30' diameter shaft that was under construction. The hose that directed the concrete into the forms lining the shaft wall surged and caused the victim to lose his balance and fall backward, resulting in a fracture to his left leg. He was treated at the Gibson General Hospital in Princeton, Indiana and released. On May 24, 2012, he passed away at his residence as a result of his injuries.
