DALLAS (KRLD) - A supervisor at a construction site in Arlington was killed this afternoon in an accident involving a one-man tractor.

The bucket on the tractor dropped, killing the instructor.  The accident happened at the site of a new 7-Eleven in the 4000block of N. Collins. 

A police spokesman says it appears the matter was a tragic accident.​
