Construction Accident on 6th and 17th
We saw an injured man being carried out of the (ugly) building under construction on 6th and 17th around 5:00 today. He was put into an ambulance. Hopefully he wasn't too badly injured!

He fell from the top of scaffolding. Looked pretty bad. Scaffolding gave way.

Checking with our community board as of this morning. Did you see what ambulance company took him away?

latest word:
Young Hispanic worker, 25 yrs old. The "official" report says he fell from the second floor, sustaining head wounds and back trauma. Shipped off to Lutheran Medical. No word on his current condition, dead or alive.
Huge difference between what I heard, which was he was on the 6th floor. Perhaps the bossman may have been the one who spoke to the cops.
Hope DOB or OSHA can do something with this one. :evil: -
Ugh. How horrible. I didn't pay attention to the ambulance. We must have gotten home just after it happened though.
I do know that he was alive when I saw him.
Howdy, Stranger!
