Jacksonville, FL (January 16, 2020) – On Tuesday, a man was killed during a fatal workplace accident involving the moving of a mobile home in an unspecified area of Jacksonville.

The 36-year-old, identified as William Bailey, was killed when he was working as a contractor for New Beginning & Start LLC.

The company allegedly had the home jacked up and a crew was attempting to move it. The structure fell on top of Bailey when he went to check on equipment. The structure was in the process of being declared unsafe when the accident occurred.
