JEROME TWP. (WWJ) -- A Downriver man has died after an accident while on the job last week in Mid-Michigan.
The Midland County Sheriff’s Office said it's still investigating the incident that happened Monday, Sept. 8., along eastbound US10 in Jerome Township, which is northwest of Midland.
Officials said 30-year-old Eduardo Aguilar of Allen Park was in the back of a Chevy Silverado pickup, placing barrels in a construction zone, when he fell from the truck and hit his head on the pavement.
Aguilar was taken by EMS to a local hospital where he died of his injuries on Sunday, according to the sheriff's office.
The 24-year-old Bay City man who was driving the truck was not injured.
The sheriff's office said Monday that toxicology results are pending to determine whether alcohol or drugs were a factor in this crash. A final report will be sent to the Midland County Prosecutor’s Office for review.
