PHILLIPSTON, Mass. (AP) — A 60-year-old suburban Boston man was killed earlier this week when a bulldozer backed over him while he was working at a site in central Massachusetts.
A Worcester County District Attorney’s Office spokesman says Paul Troisi was pronounced dead at the scene Wednesday in Phillipston.
Officials say the bulldozer backed over Troisi, an employee of Tro-Con Corp., as he was working on the construction of a town park behind a police station in the town’s common.
The Winchester man’s death is being considered a workplace accident, although the investigation is still ongoing.
