Worker falls from scaffolding by Nick Adams, St. George Daily Spectrum, UT
photo: Scaffolding from the south side of the Main Street Plaza lies in a twisted heap behind a construction fence along Tabernacle Street. One worker was injured when the scaffolding collapsed.
ST. GEORGE -- On the corner of Tabernacle and Main, three workmen on the third floor of the new Jennings Management, Inc., building stared Tuesday into the rubble of an accident from earlier that morning.
On the south side of the four-story brick building, the scaffolding collapsed at about 7:45 a.m. As the system of temporary platforms fell, a man on top of the scaffolding fell with it.
Rick Colbert, Hurricane, a brick mason, apparently was impaled on some type of metal object after his 40-foot fall. St. George Police Department Spokesman Craig Harding said Colbert was apparently conscious and breathing when emergency services arrived on scene.------------------------------------------- posted 4:44 PM :: reference link ::
