A construction worker has been tragically killed while helping set up this year’s inaugural Formula 1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
According to a local CBS affiliate, police were called to the Bellagio Fountains on the Las Vegas strip at around 11:30am on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is reportedly set to lead a subsequent investigation.<\/p>\n
