The men who died in the construction accident were immigrant workers who supported their Latin American families by working in Austin, Texas. At this point, it is unclear which construction company working on the apartment building employed the three men. While police investigate the accident, work has been cut back on the construction site.
While there are several possible reasons as to why the construction accident happened, police are looking into whether or not the scaffolding was defective.
