UPDATE: OSHA is investigating the accident on Carmel Drive, a spokesperson confirmed Wednesday afternoon.
She said the federal agency has up to six months to complete that process, and provided this link for more information: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Inspections
She told us that more details will be available once the investigation is complete.
Here's the original story:
Lafayette Parish Sheriff's deputies responded to an accident that left one man dead on Carmel Drive Tuesday night.
A spokesperson said they were called to the 2100 block of Carmel Drive around 10 p.m. Tuesday night. A 32-year-old worker was found unresponsive underneath a tractor.
LPSO says there were no signs of foul play at the scene, so it’s not being investigated as a suspicious death or a homicide by their office.
We reached out to OSHA to see if they're investigating anything and will update this story if we hear back.
