Worker dodging rain falls 18 floors down elevator shaft in Hollywood South Florida Sun-Sentinel
A construction worker seeking shelter from a morning downpour was killed Tuesday when he fell through an uncovered elevator shaft from the 19th floor of the Ocean Palms, a beachfront high-rise under construction.
Just after 8 a.m., Jose Altamirano, 42, of Miami, and about two dozen other workers sought cover from a rain shower, said Matt Phillips, a spokesman for the Hollywood Fire-Rescue Department.
Several workers said Altamirano ran to get behind a steel panel, and then slipped and fell on a plywood deck near the elevator shaft, according to Daniel Whiteman, president of Coastal Construction Services LLC, the project's contractor.------------------------------------------- posted 6:42 AM :: reference link ::
