Authorities: Man dies after being struck by paving equipment

LAKE ZURICH, Ill. (AP) - Authorities say a man has died after being struck by a piece of paving equipment at a business in suburban Chicago.

Lake Zurich police say they responded Wednesday to Chicagoland Paving and a 58-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His name wasn't immediately released.

A person with the company reported that the man was working outside on a truck when another worker heard a loud crash.

No one else was injured. The death is under investigation. The Lake County coroner's office also responded and an autopsy was planned Thursday.
