The accident occurred at the work site of the so called drawing-and-turning structure connecting to Baross Square station of metro 4 this afternoon at half past 3 pm. At this site the excavation under the concrete floor slab just began, for which the experts use a concrete structure serving as temporary support and being removed continuously as the excavation advances. The machine operator as leaving his machine went to this area for a reason yet unknown and a piece under demolition of the temporary concrete support fell on him here. The machine operator’s life could not be saved.

BKV Zrt. considers the machine operator as its own dead.
