Worker Killed at Medina County Data Center Site, Prompting Construction Shutdown

The Sheriff’s Office is investigating, with OSHA’s status unclear during the federal shutdown.

Overview

  • Turner Construction suspended all work at the County Road 683 site and says it is cooperating with a comprehensive investigation.
  • The worker, employed by a subcontractor, was struck by an articulating truck around 10 a.m. Monday and was pronounced dead at the scene.
  • The fatal incident occurred within the gates of the future Rowan Digital Infrastructure Cinco superscale data center.
  • Turner said counseling services are available to affected workers, and Rowan issued condolences and pledged support for the contractor.
  • Reporters have not confirmed any OSHA inquiry because agency media liaisons are unavailable during the federal government shutdown, and the worker’s identity has not been released.
