Conroe, TX — May 23, 2023, Brayan Lopez Aguilar and Angel Huerta Pedraza were killed due to a construction accident at 3:50 p.m. on Pampaneria Drive.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration gave statements following preliminary investigations into the accident. Their public investigation summary shows the incident happened at 3040 Pampaneria Drive.
According to officials, 20-year-old Brayan Lopez Aguilar, 35-year-old Angel Huerta Pedraza, and several other workers were at a home that was under construction. While working, the investigation summary says there was inclement weather coming through the area, and the National Weather Service issued warnings, including severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado warnings.
