A man working at an unnamed self-storage construction site in Franklin, Tenn., was killed on Friday morning when he was struck by the boom pipe from a concrete pump truck. The Franklin Fire Department (FFD) was called to the accident on Hospitality Drive at 6:44 a.m., according to sources.
The worker, whose name hasn’t been released, was standing at least 15 feet down in the building foundation when the crew began to pour in concrete, according to FFD Captain Jose Periut. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
An investigation is underway, and the Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration has been notified, Periut said.

FRANKLIN, Ind. – Last week, the Franklin Township of Johnson County Trustee’s office and staff presented the Franklin Mayor s Youth Leadership Council with a check for $15,000 to fund a Safe Haven Baby Box. The Baby Box is to be installed at the Franklin Fire Department’s Fire Station 22, at 1800 Thornburg Lane.
The Youth Council partnered with Beats for Bristol, Inc. to assist in this service for the community. Beats for Bristol was responsible for laying the foundation for the project.
The teenagers involved still have quite a bit of work ahead of them, but they are excited to get the box placed and functional at the fire station.
