Description:

On January 30, 2006, a 37-year-old male Hispanic carpenter's helper (the victim) was fatally injured while assisting in disassembling a lattice boom on a truck-mounted crane. The crane operator and the victim were working together removing pins that secured the 40-foot center section to the base boom section. After dislodging the second bottom pin, the boom hinged on the top two pins and fell on the victim's back pinning him to the ground. The supervisor summoned a coworker who contacted 911 and company managers immediately. A hydraulic crane located nearby was brought to the site and used to lift the boom off of the victim. Approximately 5 minutes after receiving the 911 call, emergency medical services (EMS) personnel arrived and extricated the victim. They attempted resuscitation but were unsuccessful. EMS personnel notified the EMS medical director of the victim's condition, and resuscitation efforts were suspended. The victim was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead about 45 minutes after the incident.
