The owner of a now-defunct construction company has been sentenced on a charge of manslaughter after an employee died in a trench collapse in Breckenridge.

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. —

In November 2021, Dillon was the owner of the A4S Construction, and responsible for a residential construction site in Breckenridge where crews were installing a sewer line. On Nov. 16, employee Marlon Alfredo Diaz, 23, was fatally injured in a trench collapse at 206 Sallie Barber Road. Dillon was cited on May 13, 2022 after OSHA determined how the worker died. The trench collapsed due to"deteriorating conditions at the project, which A4S LLC could have prevented by using legally required trench protection systems," OSHA said.

Based on the pre-sentencing investigation, Dillon had about 60 traffic violations in his lifetime,"showing a blatant lack of respect for the law and its consequences," the district attorney's office said.
