Construction Worker At Kyle Field Dies After Fall

COLLEGE STATION (CBSDFW/AP) -- A construction accident at Texas A&M's under-renovation football stadium has left at least one worker dead after he fell about four stories.

University police spokesman Lt. Allan Baron told KBTX-TV that the accident happened Tuesday morning at Kyle Field.

The 25-year-old worker was transported to a hospital, where he died Tuesday afternoon.

CBS affiliate KBTX-TV reporter John Gilbert broke the news that members of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) confirmed that they were investigating a fatality at the construction site.

Kyle Field is undergoing $450 million in upgrades to put in new grass and expand seating from 82,600 to 102,500, making it the largest stadium in the Southeastern Conference.
