NYC Scaffold Collapse Sends 2 To Hospital
NEW YORK (CBS) ―
The Fire Department says two people have been taken to a hospital following a scaffold collapse in Brooklyn.
It was not immediately clear whether the patients were construction workers.
The initial report indicated their injuries were not life-threatening.
The accident occurred on 20th Drive in southwest Brooklyn.
The victims were taken to Lutheran Hospital.
In January 2008, a collapsed scaffold killed one construction worker and seriously injured another in Brooklyn. That accident took place at 525 Clinton Ave. in the Fort Greene section of the borough where a new 13-story condominium complex was being built.
