House Construction Accident Kills Worker

by

Last week, a construction worker died after being crushed by a house. The 57-year-old worker was part of a crew that was lowering the house on to a new foundation to comply with building codes, because the house was apparently too tall for its original foundation.

The house reportedly fell off its foundation and trapped the worker between two beams as it collapsed on top of him. All but one of the workers was able to escape the construction accident.

The fatal accident is under investigation by the state Department of Labor.
