OSHA investigates Texas tunnel death

Federal investigators are on the scene of a deadly accident in Conroe trying to answer exactly what happened inside a tunnel where a construction worker was killed Tuesday.

Investigators say the worker was the only one inside the pipe, at least 100 feet in. Just as it started raining, his supervisor told him to get out. He was making his way out of the pipe when the flood water overcame him quickly. The man was an employee with BorTunCo, the Boring & Tunneling Company of America Inc. The company's president says his crews build tunnels under highways every day and Tuesday was supposed to be no different.
