Man Dead After Construction Site Accident In Anne Arundel: Report

PASADENA, MD — Fire officials said a man died Thursday at a Pasadena construction site. An incident report suggested that a backhoe, or digger, may have struck the victim.

When crews arrived to the 600 block of 208th St. around 8:10 a.m., they found the unconscious man with critical injuries. Medics tried to resuscitate the victim, but they declared him dead on the scene, the Anne Arundel County Fire Department said.

The report did not identify the man, but it estimated that he was in his 50s. The Anne Arundel County Police Department notified Maryland Occupational Safety and Health as part of the investigation.
