Deputies responded to an "industrial accident" call at the 2400 block of Lawrenceburg Ferry Road around 7 p.m. Road Safety System LLC was onsite to install guardrails when the incident occurred. The deceased, identified as 42-year-old Robert Kinsella from New York, was operating a 2013 Freightliner M21 with a rear-mounted post drive.
