Bordentown, NJ — A construction worker was crushed by a several-thousand pound concrete barrier, leaving him dead at a construction site on the New Jersey Turnpike. The fatal construction accident occurred on Monday, July 11, 2011, at 7:56 a.m., in Bordentown near exit 7, as reported by NJ.com.

New Jersey State Police and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are investigating the fatal construction accident.
