A 23-year-old man was killed in a construction accident last Saturday in Virginia Beach.
According to Virginia Beach Police, Brandon Peterson was working at a construction site in the 2500 block of Quality Court when the equipment he was operating failed to start.

An operator on another piece of equipment was backing up and did not see Peterson.
As a result, Peterson was crushed between the two pieces of equipement. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:53 a.m.
