A delivery driver has died on the job after he was struck by a load of construction material at a Home Depot store in Florida.
The fatal incident occurred on Sunday around 7:30 p.m. at the back of a Home Depot located in St. Petersburg, according to the St. Petersburg Police Department.
The man — identified by local media outlets as 47-year-old Cyrenus Leroy Amon — was not an employee of the store, but a delivery worker, authorities said.
Amon was in the middle of unloading drywall off the back of the truck when it fell on him, WFLA reported.

According to the Associated Press, Amon was delivering materials from United States Gypsum Co.
A statement from the company said that Amon had been employed by a third-party carrier that was delivering their products, the outlet reported.
