(KLZA)--A construction accident in Pennsylvania has claimed the life of a Falls City man.
According to a report from the Pennsylvania State Police, 54-year-old Ricky Dettman died in construction accident involving a bulldozer shortly before 11:50 eastern time on Tuesday.
The report says Dettman was operating a bulldozer on a steep grade in a pipeline area, in Union Township, Tioga County, Pennsylvania. At some point the bulldozer began to roll down the hill, and rolled numerous times before coming to rest in an upright position.
Dettman was pronounced dead at the scene.

Ricky Dettman is survived by his wife June, a daugheter Amanda Lindstrom, a son Greg and brothers Terry and Tom Dettman.
Funeral arrangments are pending.
