PARK CITY — Authorities on Sunday identified a construction worker who was killed in an accident at a work site in the Promontory area of Park City Saturday morning.

The Summit County Sheriff's Office said Harold "Buck" Parker, 50, of Heber City, died in the accident.

Deputies said Parker was driving a small crane at a job site shortly after 8 a.m, when the vehicle rolled over an embankment and into a ditch, crushing him. Nearby workers were able to call 911, but the man was dead when emergency services arrived at the scene, a Summit County Sheriff's Office spokesperson said.

Summit County police are still investigating the incident. They did not say whether it was a residential or commercial construction site.
