DAUPHIN, Pa. — A 27-year-old Kingsport, Tenn., man has been identified as the victim of a fatal accident on a Norfolk Southern project earlier this month.

The Kingsport Times-News reports Kolton Parker Helbert, an employee of National Salvage & Service Corp., was killed in the Dec. 8 accident. National Salvage provides demolition and dismantlement services. A company spokesman told the newspaper it was the first death of an employee in an accident in the company’s more than 40-year history.

The National Transportation Safety Board sent a three-person team of investigators to the accident site. A preliminary report will be issued in about a month, with the full report taking at least a year, an NTSB spokesman said.
