Construction site worker struck by dump truck dies

A dump truck driver has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after the death of a fellow construction site worker in Gillette. 38-year-old Jason Thompson was working near Lasting Legacy Park around 6 a.m. Monday when he was hit and killed by a dump truck. Police Lt. Brent Wasson says the Wyoming Highway Patrol arrested 31-year-old Andrew Ames, of Yankton, S.D., on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. Wasson says an investigation is continuing to see whether Ames could face a different charge. Ames has an unlisted phone number and couldn't be reached for comment Tuesday.
