A construction worker was trapped and killed when the last standing wall of a building under demolition collapsed on top of him.

• Child, Man Killed, 4 Thrown in Violent Pickup Crash

The worker was taking down an old Blockbuster Video building in the Cherry Hill Shopping Center at 500 Route 38 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. He was standing by the wall when it collapsed around 12:30 p.m. Friday.

The collapse knocked the worker into a trench, leaving him partially buried by debris. He was pronounced dead at the scene. A backhoe operator who was shook up and having chest pains, was hospitalized.

The site was being cleared to pave the way for a Super Wawa, according to Fire Director Patrick Kelly.

"I'd say 98.9 percent of it was down. This is the last piece that was there and unfortunately, something happened where the wall came down on a worker," Kelly said.

Kelly said the company in charge of the demolition had all the proper permits. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) identified that company as Mancuso Contractors, based in Maple Shade, New Jersey. Inspection reports show OSHA fined the company in 1999 and 2000 for worker safety violations related to excavations. Requests for comment from the company were not returned by the time of publication.

OSHA investigators were on the scene within hours of Friday's collapse, along with investigators from the Camden County Prosecutor's office.

The victim's identity is not being made public until his family has been notified.

The store is one of thousands across the country that closed after Blockbuster LLC filed for bankruptcy. This is an image of the building from 2008.

A 4-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man were killed and four others were hurt after they were thrown from a pickup truck as it overturned along the Atlantic City Expressway in South Jersey on Friday. 

• 1 Person Killed in Partial Building Collapse

Police say 45-year-old Roselyn Kornegay was driving a white Ford truck in the westbound lanes of the highway near mile marker 22.7 around 7:10 a.m. in Hamilton Township, New Jersey.

According to investigators, 35-year-old James Dennis and a 4-year-old child were passengers in the cab. They also say 19-year-old Brian Gregory, 18-year-old Shaniqua Abrams and 9-year-old Dion Kornegay were sitting in the bed of the truck.

"A child was lying on the right side of the road, being helped by a driver from the car in front of me," said one witness, who did not want to be identified. "There was a woman lying in the road on the left and other people lying in the middle of the highway. There were clothes and lots and lots of beer cans and it was a horrible mess."

Dennis was killed in the crash, police say. Kornegay and the 4-year-old child were flown by medical helicopter to Cooper University Hospital in Camden, New Jersey. The 4-year-old boy, who has not yet been identified, died from his injuries shortly after 3:30 p.m. Kornegay remains in critical condition.

Gregory, Abrams and Dion Kornegay were taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center -- two by ambulance and another by helicopter. They all suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Police also say all of the victims are from Philadelphia. They don't believe anyone in the truck was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident.

"Being that all six passengers were ejected from the vehicle, it's safe to say they were not wearing their safety belts," said New Jersey State Police Sergeant Monica Nuhfer. "The fact that the child wasn't even in a seat belt is absolutely violating the law and the safety of the child." 

Officials shut down the westbound lanes of the highway for several hours -- diverting traffic east of the scene. The roadway was partially reopened around 11 a.m.

Police continue to investigate the cause of the crash.

Police arrested a woman for hitting and killing a 61-year-old man with her vehicle and charged a man with helping her cover up the crime.

"I can tell you whole-heartedly, had it been six, eight weeks ago before the tasers would have been in effect, she would be dead," said Sgt. John Martinez.

A neighbor called 911 and when police arrived on the scene the suspect dashed inside a nearby house, according to reports.

Police began searching the home, working their way to the second floor, where the woman was hiding behind a shower curtain.

She jumped out and lunged at the officers with the knife.

• 2 Charged in Deadly Hit & Run

The dangerous situation forced Martinez to make a split-second decision: should he use deadly force or reach for his newly issued taser?

"Just because we can take somebody's life," he said, "doesn't mean we have to."

Charges have not been filed against the woman, who had a history of behavioral issues. She is undergoing a health evaluation.

"It makes me feel better knowing I don't have to go from zero to 60 and take sombeody's life if I have alternative means," Martinez said.

The Camden County Prosecutor's Office and OSHA are investigating the demolition practices of Jose David's employer, Mancuso Contractors, and the general contractor Carl R. Pursell, Inc. The companies are building a Super Wawa on the site.

In a statement, Wawa said Pursell has been a long-time general contractor for the convenience store chain and that Friday's collapse is first such incident in 50 years building more than 1,000 stores.

"We are doing everything we can to support those involved and the authorities in their investigation," the statement read in part.

Both contractors did not respond to multiple requests for comment over the past two days.

A spokesperson for the prosecutor's office said an autopsy was scheduled to be performed Saturday on Jose David to determine the official cause of death. Officials are still working to learn what caused the wall to collapse and whether anyone is to blame.
