Four men injured in construction accident

Posted on Wednesday, October 6th, 2010 at 8:02 am    

Four men were injured in a construction accident in New Haven after an I-beam fell on the workers.

The accident occurred at the Yale University campus where they are building a chiller plant. An I-beam plummeted 30 feet from the structure and hit the lift bucket before hitting the ground.

One worker was trapped underneath the high beam from his knee to his hip causing him to suffer crushing injuries. Three other workers were also injured, but all of them were alert and conscious when emergency crews arrived. Officials with OSHA are investigating the accident.

Workplace injuries can change the lives of a family and make it nearly impossible to earn a living, our thoughts are with the friends and family of the victims during their recovery.
