Two workers were killed Wednesday at a construction site in downtown Boston after they were hit by a truck and knocked into a hole in the road, a grisly accident that horrified onlookers and left grief-stricken relatives crying out for answers.
One of the men who was killed, according to his sister, worked for Boston-based Atlantic Coast Utilities, which was repairing a private sewer not far from the Greenway when the crash occurred. At the scene, Leslie Villalobos, 23, said that her brother, Jordan Romero, had fallen about 20 feet into the mattress-sized hole. Accompanied by friends and family, Villalobos stood by as authorities worked to retrieve his body.
“I guess you could say I’m in shock,” she said.
