Construction worker killed while paving driveway in Webster – The Union Leader

John Davis, 55, worked for Merrill Construction and was paving a driveway when the vehicle he was driving went down an embankment and rolled on top of him.

It's unclear if anyone currently lives at the single-family home where the work was being done.

Webster Police Chief Benedict Liberatore said only construction workers were at the residence Saturday.

A state medical examiner and first responders went to the scene at Deer Meadow Road shortly before noon Saturday.

The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was also notified of Davis' death, and will be sending an investigator there Monday, officials said.

"It appears while working the victim lost control of the dirt roller-type vehicle causing him to go off an embankment and causing the equipment to roll on top of him," said Webster Officer Aaron Sparks.

The workplace accident occurred near the Concord-Webster line.
