Cedrick Woodson Killed in Work Accident in Garrison, TX

Garrison, TX — May 11, 2022, Cedrick Woodson was killed following an accident at a work site where an object struck Woodson.

Details released by OSHA investigators indicated that the incident happened at around 9:00 a.m. at a location in the 1700 block of N. FM 95, just off U.S. Highway 59.

Right now, the reason for the bolts breaking is unclear. It was not specified if the bolts were in disrepair, if they weren't right for the weight they were holding, or if some sort of manufacturing issue led to the failure. The OSHA reports did include one alleged rule violation, and they recommended there be a penalty of just over $10,000.

At this time, additional details about the factors surrounding the accident and the company allegedly involved are unclear.
