We previously reported on a Vermont crane accident that occurred on Wednesday, August 25, 2011, but have since learned of another crane accident that occurred in our state on the same day as the other work accident.
Vermont State Police indicated that a crane worker was operating a 100,000-pound construction crane when the roadway fell out, causing the crane to tip over into a ditch. This Vermont work accident trapped the crane worker inside.
When emergency responders arrived on scene, they had to extricate the crane operator from the construction equipment that tipped over in Calais, Vermont. The driver of the crane was injured in the accident and transported by helicopter to the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center for medical treatment.
This crane accident occurred in Calais, Vermont on Wednesday afternoon, just hours after the crane accident that took place in Georgia, Vermont on U.S. Route 7; however, no injuries were reported in the earlier crane tip over incident.
