Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Q. R. — A worker was killed Friday after rolling a cement truck on an under-construction access road. The accident happened around 1:30 p.m. Friday when the driver of the truck toppled his unit on a section of the new Puerta al Mar beach road.
The 33-year-old driver was working within the Sian Ka’an Reserve when he lost control of the unit. The heavy truck fell onto the driver’s side, crushing the man inside.
Military personnel suspended work on that section of road Friday while authorities collected statements and evidence from the accident scene.
In December, workers began construction of the new beach access road in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve. The project is set for February completion.
