SALT LAKE CITY -- An accident on a construction site made for a challenging rescue for fire crews. Monday morning around 9:00, a worker fell 30 feet while preparing to pour a floor in the building under construction in Research Park near 500 South Wakara Way.
Because of the layout of the building and the building materials in the way, a complicated rigging system had to be set up to reach the man and get him down to the ground.
He was taken to the hospital in critical but stable condition.
Police and OSHA investigators are now looking into the circumstances surrounding the fall.
