NASHVILLE, Tenn. — This morning’s death of Colin Sawasky, 22, at Vulcan Materials Company, 5853 River Road, appears accidental.
West Precinct officers were called to the quarry at 11 a.m. The operator of a front end loader was putting sand into a ditch where Sawasky was working when the heavy machinery slid into the ditch, pinning him against a concrete culvert. He died at the scene.
Sawasky, of Wisconsin, had been hired by a subcontractor.
