‘I worry about his kids’ | Construction worker crushed by crane leaves behind 4 children

Family and friends identified a construction worker killed by a crane as a father of four from Montgomery County.

“We’re still waiting for him to show up, it’s a joke but God had other plans,” said longtime family friend Nancy Bergen.

He, in this case, is Shawn Pritchett.

The construction worker died after being struck and pinned down by a crane.

Pritchett was working at a Shrewsbury job site Tuesday around 3 a.m. when it happened.

An MSD spokesman Sean Hadley said crews were working on an underground tunnel used for wastewater at the time.
