Sioux Falls, SD– A Wednesday morning, December 1, 2010 construction accident left a 50-year-old construction worker with injuries after a wooden wall panel fell on him as it was being moved by a crane. The construction accident occurred around 10 a.m., at the construction site of a restaurant, located on the southwest corner of the 74th Street and Connie Avenue, as reported by the Argus Leader.
Sioux Falls Police reported that the worker was standing on a semi-truck trailer, while he was helping to guide a wooden wall panel that was being raised by crane. The panel suddenly fell and hit the worker as it was falling after initial impact.
Emergency crews rush to the scene where they discovered the worker was conscious and alert. He was transported to an area hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will likely investigate the construction accident. The construction site will be investigated at a later date, depending on resources. If there was a death or three or more people were injured, OSHA would have an official on site within 24 hours.
