An accident at a borough construction site left one
worker dangling from a toppled crane, authorities say.
The crane--located at a industrial site near 1400 Federal
Boulevard and Milik Street--toppled over Tuesday afternoon, hitting a cell
phone tower on its way down, said Carteret fire chief Mark Hruska. A worker was
expelled from the crane in the accident, and was left hanging approximately 20
to 25 feet above the ground, he said.
The worker was still dangling from his harness when
emergency personnel arrived at the scene. He suffered head injuries and a
broken leg, but was conscious and responsive, Hruska said.
The worker, who has not been identified, was transported
to a hospital for treatment, Hruska said.
