Worker who died at downtown St. Paul construction site identified as 61-year-old from Stillwater
Police identified a man Thursday who died at a downtown St. Paul construction site as a 61-year-old from Stillwater.
The driver of a work truck struck Peter M. Davis at about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday near Wabasha and Seventh streets, according to police. Davis was working at a roadwork construction site.
Davis retired from St. Paul Regional Water Services at the end of July after a 44-year career with the department; he most recently was a distribution field supervisor. It wasn’t immediately known what company he was working for Wednesday.
“I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Peter Davis, who made an incredible impact over his 44-year career with Saint Paul Regional Water Services,” St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter wrote on social media Thursday. “He was innovative, kind, and committed to delivering the very best service possible.”
The police investigation continues. Minnesota OSHA was also contacted and is reviewing the details, according to an agency spokesman.
