A person has been killed during an accident at a MSD construction site on Carr Lane Court in Shrewsbury. The worker was struck by a crane. Police and fire crews arrived on the scene at around 4:00am. The medical examiner is also at the Deer Creek tunnel and pump station site.
Workers are tunneling under St. Louis for a wastewater project. It's designed to hold 12.5 million gallons of wastewater produced when there's a significant rain event that overwhelms the sewer system. The tunnel now runs about 1.5 miles at 150-250 feet underground from Shrewsbury to Clayton. The tunnel will eventually be around four miles long. Construction of the tunnel is expected to be completed in late 2022.
The identity of the victim has not been released. Police say they are still notifying the family of the death.
