Another New York Construction Death

Posted on Feb 28, 2008

One construction worker is dead and another was seriously injured in Brooklyn, New York, when their scaffold collapsed on a rooftop. The dead worker, Jose Palacios, fell about 13 stories. The second worker landed on a ledge.

The accident occurred at 525 Clinton Ave. in Fort Greene. According to the New York City Buildings Department preliminary report, high winds may have caused this tragic accident. However, investigators are looking into whether the building's scaffolding was adequately secured to the side of the condo.
