Tulsa, OK - Noe Mendoza, an Oklahoma City resident and construction worker for Plains Bridge Contracting of Oklahoma, died in a construction accident Monday, August 16 around 9:30 a.m. According to the local fire department he was hit by an open-bowl scraper, a type of giant earthmover that can weigh up to 126,000 pounds when fully loaded, where he worked on the extension for the Gilcrease Expressway west of Osage Drive. Investigators speculate that the machine lost power, causing it to roll down the hill and run over Mendoza before he noticed it heading for him.
