Permit revoked after construction worker dies

The Virginia Department of Transportation yanked a developer’s permit to work on Highway 50 after a construction worker was killed in Loudoun County Tuesday. David Rodriguez, 66, of Manassas, died after a company work truck ran over him as William Hazel Construction Inc. prepared to paint lines on the side of the road at a development. Rodriguez died at the scene.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the accident, spokesman Kraig Troxell said. “This truck backed up and for whatever reason, he didn’t hear it and the driver of the truck didn’t see him.”
