8 a.m., Jan. 30, a construction site at West Ridge Road and Allison Street.

A construction crew member found a piece of an excavator damaged when working on the light rail system project. The crew member found the damage after noticing hydraulic fluid near the north side of the railroad tracks.

According to the police report, the excavator was in working condition the night before, and when the machine was turned on, fluid began squirting out, the hydraulic line appearing to be cut.

The construction crew will seek an inspection of the damage, and if it is unfixable, then they will have to purchase a new arm for the excavator, valued at $200.
