CONSTRUCTION WORK ARE TWO THINGS THAT OBVIOUSLY DON'T MIX. THAT'S WHAT INVESTIGATORS SAY WAS BEHIND A CONSTRUCTION WORKER PLUNGING TO HIS DEATH IN GALLUP. NOT ONLY WAS THAT MAN DRUNK -- INVESTIGATORS SAY THE FOREMAN AND THE REST OF THE CREW WERE ALSO DOWNING BEERS. GADI SCHWARTZ SPENT THE DAY IN GALLUP GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF IT ALL. THIS IS THE BRIDGE THE CREW WAS WORKING ON- LITTERED WITH BROKEN BEER BOTTLES AND THIS IS THE BEAM- THE VICTIM BENNY DUBOIS WAS TRYING TO CROSS- 3 TIMES THE LEGAL LIMIT. IF A BLOODY FOOTPRINT A BANDAGE AND A BROKEN BEER BOTTLE UNDERNEATH THIS BRIDGE DON'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY- THEN 20 FEET UP ANOTHER BEER BOTTLE AND A DISCARDED SAFETY HARNESS HELPS. THIS IS WHERE 31 YEAR OLD CONSTRUCTION WORKER BENNY DUBOIS FELL TO HIS DEATH YESTERDAY. TODAY GALLUP POLICE SAY ITS AN ACCIDENT THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. 2:10 come to find out the the individual was intoxicated working with 5 other individuals who were also intoxicated. INVESTIGATORS TELL US DUBOIS'S BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL WAS AROUND .25 AS HE TRIED TO WALK ACROSS THIS BEAM. THATS ABOUT THREE TIMES THE LEGAL LIMIT. UNACCEPTABLE TO RESIDENTS WHO DRIVE UNDER THE BRIDGE DAILY. to me they should check into those workers why should somebody be working while drinking i dont think thats even right we always said there was no supervision. TURNS OUT THE SUPERVISOR WAS TAKING OFF IN A COMPANY TRUCK AS POLICE SHOWED UP. 7:15 the forman was leaving the scene when officers went after him and noticed he was swerving in and out of lanes. LEONARD YAZZIE WAS ARRESTED FOR DWI- WE CHECKED HIS BACKGROUND AND FOUND THIS IS HIS 5TH DRUNK DRIVING ARREST. 24:55 why was he out on 5 dwi's. THIS WOMAN HOPES TO NEVER SEE THAT CONSTRUCTION CREW WORKING OVER HER AGAIN. 25:10 the last couple weeks things were falling down- what if a big rock hit you and killed you and there was no supervise those workers. THE CONTRACTOR OF THIS D-O-T PROJECT IS A.S. HORNER OUT OF ALBUQUERQUE NEW MEXICO. THE COMPANY TOLD US THEY DIDN'T WANT TO COMMENT. LATE THIS AFTERNOON GOVERNOR RICHARDSON'S OFFICE TOLD US THEY WERE LAUNCHING A FULL SCALE INVESTIGATION INTO THE CONTRACTOR AND WHAT HAPPENED AT THIS SITE. FOR A WHILE TODAY ... POLICE IN SANTA FE THOUGHT
