Construction workers had to hold up sections of a brick wall that
collapsed on top of a colleague today while emergency workers rushed
to the scene at the Cambridge Public Library.
The worker suffered a severe head injury and was rushed Massachusetts
General Hospital, according to Lieutenant Edward Enos of the Cambridge
Fire Department.
"When we arrived at the scene two other employees were holding
sections of wall off the victim," Enos said.
The name and the condition of the victim were not released. He works
for Act Abatement Corp., a demolition company. The wall collapsed at
about 9 a.m. when workers had taken a rest, Enos said.
