This was the fourth fatal accident on the project since construction began in 2015. The first death happened in February 2016 when another employee of the JV, 34-year-old Marvin Franklin, was hit by a dump truck filled with dirt. In December of that same year, an employee of subcontractor Central Florida Underground, 59-year-old Curtis Copley, died after he was struck by a piece of steel equipment. In March 2018, Michael Tolman, an employee of subcontractor Shelby Erectors, died after a rebar cage fell on him.
