Worker Injured in Weymouth Fall

WEYMOUTH, MA — A worker was taken to the hospital following a 20-foot fall off a home.

Weymouth Deputy Fire Chief Richard Chase told the Patriot Ledger that the man fell following a scaffolding collapse while he was installing vinyl siding. A pump jack that failed to keep the scaffold board in place is being cited as the cause of the call.

The man was taken to South Shore Hospital with injuries.

No word on the man's name or his condition.

A member of the Occupational Health and Safety Administration and the town's building inspector were at the scene.
