COATESVILLE — This morning, around 9:45 a.m., a 61-year-old Clayton man died when he was struck by equipment at a worksite near Coatesville.
According to the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office, David Appleby was part of a crew working near the intersection of Amo and Coatesville roads. A large piece of equipment used for excavating draining ditching along roadways was being used by the crew.
