(KSL News)--Four construction workers were taken to the hospital after a house wall fell on top of them in Kaysville this morning.
Ten men were trying to lift the wall upright when it slipped. Workers rushed to get it off, but some of the men were hurt by the impact.
One was flown by Air Med to University Hospital in serious condition. Another three were taken to Davis North Hospital with possible broken bones and minor injuries.
The project manager said they try to take precautions to avoid accidents, but they can't plan for everything.
Doug Ashby, Symphony Homes Project Manager: "It's a risky business. There's things that can happen. It wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened and it probably won't be the last."
None of the workers had life-threatening injuries.
