UPDATE: One of two workers critically injured in a water main break on Main Street in Branson last week has died. The worker has been identified as Jacob Seiler III.

Those crews hit a water line.
The company put out a statement saying the victim acted heroically to help a coworker, and his courage and selflessness reflect the person he was.
