Worker Breaks Leg At Los Altos House Construction Site

Rescue crews with the Santa Clara County Fire Department staged a technical rescue at a construction site in Los Altos where a worker broke his leg this afternoon, according to police and firefighters.

The incident was reported around 3 p.m. in the 1000 block of Ray Avenue after a construction worker fell roughly 10 feet, injuring his leg.

“The house was being built and one of the construction workers fell into what’s going to be a basement and broke his leg,” police Sgt. Brian Jeffrey said. The technical rescue may have been necessary due to problems with the stairway, Jeffrey said.

The patient was transported to Stanford Hospital around 3:45 p.m., according to a county fire employee.
