Ironworker Tells Story of Survival WTOL-TV
A Toledo ironworker, who survived the I-280 truss collapse is telling his story for the first time. On a cold February day, a 2-million-pound launching truss collapsed at the Maumee River Crossing Construction project in east Toledo. 4 ironworkers were killed, and 4 other men were hurt. One of the most critically hurt was 26-year-old Josh Collins. Today, he spoke with News 11's Bob Jones.
Josh says it's still a 'day by day' struggle. Josh is out of a wheelchair and using a cane. It takes three titanium plates and 8 screws to keep his neck intact. 11 broken bones in his hips and spine are healing. But, Josh is alive. 'I've come along way. I don't believe I should have survived that accident, but God has other plans in store for me,' he said.------------------------------------------- posted 6:51 AM :: reference link ::
