WACO, TEXAS


 A man, believed to be a construction worker, died Friday morning at a Baylor University building site when an elevator apparently fell on him.

Rescue workers and police were sent at about 11:45 a.m. to a construction site at 4th Street and Bagby Avenue after a caller reported a man had been injured in an accident, Baylor media spokeswoman Lori Fogelman said.

When East Texas Medical Center EMS personnel arrived they determined the man was dead.

The construction site is part of the Foster Campus of the new Baylor Business School and still is under construction, Fogelman said.

The man’s identity had not been released.

No one else was injured in the accident, Fogelman said.
