A West Penn Township man was crushed to death at a construction site in Northampton County on Wednesday morning.
John Kotchmar, 59, was killed about 9 a.m. near the intersection of Newlins Mill Road in Palmer Township.
According to police, he apparently stumbled and fell beneath the tires of a dump truck while working on a sewer line project along Van Buren Road.
Kotchmar died at the scene and death was attributed to crushing injuries to his head and chest, Zachary Lysek, county corner, said.
John as a defensive end on the Tamaqua JV Football Team gave Harry his first "head slap" as he was coming out of the backfield to block - knocking Harry silly. He never recovered.
