TOLLAND, Conn. (AP) State police say a Tolland town worker who died was patching pot holes when a local Public Works Department truck backed into him and caused the fatal injuries.

Troopers have identified the worker in Thursday morning's accident as 50-year-old David Ridzon of Willington. They say he was pronounced dead after being flown by helicopter to Hartford Hospital.

No charges have been filed. The accident remains under investigation.

Town Manager Steve Werbner called the incident a tragic accident and says town employees are shocked and grieving.
