CANTON, Mass. — A worker was rushed to the hospital after being pulled from the rubble of a wall collapse at a construction site in Canton on Monday.
Firefighters responding to a report of a roof collapse and a trapped person at a house under construction on Lake Road learned a wall had fallen on top of a worker, according to Canton Fire Chief Wendell Robery.
A Boston 25 News photographer captured video of emergency crews using a basket stretcher to hoist the injured worker down to the ground from the second floor of the home.
