Man Sustains "Extremely Serious" Injuries After Falling Five Stories On Construction Site

Logan City Police say a construction worker was seriously injured after plummeting five stories at a construction site on Wednesday.

Capt. Curtis Hooley told The Herald Journal said a couple of workers were installing trusses on the top floor of a building on 800 E near USU. Hooley said at some point the man’s ladder became unstable and he fell through a window.

 

“I don’t know if the ladder collapsed or he fell off the ladder,” Hooley said, “but he unfortunately fell through the open window — there wasn’t glass in it, I don’t think.” Read the rest of the story on HJnews.com.
