Authorities have identified a Wyoming man who died in a construction accident in North Dakota while working for a South Dakota company.

Ward County Sheriff's Capt. Todd Keller says 24-year-old Joel Larsen of Gillette, Wyo., apparently was working on a skid-steer loader in a building on Minot's east edge late Tuesday afternoon when he was crushed by the machine's front loader arms.

KCJB says Larsen was working for Clark's Heavy Equipment and Field Service Repair, an oil field service company based in Belle Fourche, S.D. Keller says Larsen was the only person working in the building at the time, and was discovered by a customer.
