CUMMING, GA — Forsyth County deputies are investigating the death of a man who was run over while working in a subdivision.

Based on the investigation, Brian Crook, 49, of Piedmont, South Carolina, was cleaning a concrete pump truck after pumping concrete for a house under construction. Crook set a barrel with water on the edge of the roadway so he could clean the piping on the concrete pump truck. During the process, an air pocket from the piping on the concrete pump truck pushed Crook backward into the roadway, where he was hit by dump truck.
