A construction worker was killed by a crane at a large commercial construction site in Irvine on Tuesday, authorities said.
Orange County coroner’s officials identified the man as Paul Nagle, 60, of Earp, Calif. He was found dead about 8:30 a.m. at the site at 15100 Barranca Pkwy., according to the coroner’s office.
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health is investigating Nagle’s death but said it could not release many details Thursday.
Nagle was an oiler, responsible for maintaining cranes, for Orange-based company Mr. Crane, according to Cal-OSHA spokeswoman Erika Monterroza.
No one else at the building site was injured, Irvine police said.
