A construction worker broke his leg while working on a construction project at a high school in Charleston while he was attempting to move a steel assembly part.

The accident occurred at 8:30 a.m. as the man used an excavator to move the assembly and the excavator broke. The assembly shifted for an unknown reason and broke through the window and broke the man’s leg.

The man is currently in the hospital in good condition. The man has worked for the company for 10 years and an official with the company said this was the only injury during the high school’s two year reconstruction program.
