Worker killed when dump truck runs him over on I-95

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — Channel 9 has learned a worker was killed after being run over by a construction vehicle on Interstate 95 on Monday.

Authorities said a dump truck ran over Robert Sikorski, 52, near the Garden Street exit in Titusville.

Investigators said the 33-year old driver of the Shark Diesel dump truck reversed into Sikorski while the Lane Construction subcontractor was walking through the site.

Witness Erik Ramage said he saw the flashing lights next door from Astronaut High School.

"My dad is in construction so if that happened to him I would be pretty tore up about it," he said.

Because it happened in the construction zone, there were no road closures.

"Anything could happen. That could happen to anybody," said Ramage.

Authorities are still investigating. No charges have been filed.
