Workers Injured By Falling Wall At Falmouth Construction Site

FALMOUTH, MA — A falling wall at a construction site caused serious injuries to two workers in Falmouth.

Falmouth Fire and Rescue officials responded to a work site at 513 Brick Kiln Rd. around 2:30 p.m. on Friday. Officials were notified that a wall had fallen on two workers, though their coworkers had removed the wall from on top of them prior to the arrival of first responders.

Officials immediately requested a MedFlight "due to the nature of the accident," they said.

Upon arrival, officials confirmed that the two injured workers "sustained multi-system traumatic injuries" from a wall that had fallen on them while it was being raised.

Officials, after arriving at the scene, requested a second MedFlight.

Personnel were evaluated and stabilized before they were eventually transferred to the awaiting MedFlight. They were then taken to area trauma centers, officials said.

No additional information is available regarding the extent of their injuries, officials said.

Falmouth Inspectional Services along with Falmouth Police Department and OSHA were on the scene to investigate the incident.
