ST. GEORGE — A 20-year-old construction worker continues to recover at a St. George hospital after sustaining crushing injuries to his legs in an incident involving a skid steer last week.

On the morning of Sept. 18, Keegon Heath was working at a home construction site in Piute County with his older brother and one other worker when the skid steer he was driving tipped and fell into a concrete-lined space designed to be a cold storage area.

Tiana Phillips and her husband, who own the home that's being built, rushed over to the scene from their rental home a couple of miles away as soon as they found out something had happened. They arrived there at about 9:40 a.m, approximately 20 minutes after the incident occurred.

"As soon as we got there, we saw what was happening," Tiana Phillips said. "The ambulance had already gotten there by that time and they were working on him."
