According to Draper City Fire Chief Clint Smith, around 4 p.m. crews responded to a call that a man had been injured in an industrial accident. First responders were told that a man was working on 6-foot high scaffolding at 38 W. 13800 South and was attempting to place a beam when he fell. The scaffolding tipped over and both the scaffolding and the beam landed on the injured man, Smith said.
A medical helicopter was called in to transport the man to the trauma center with a head injury.
