Bridge Collapses, Boom Truck Falls Into Canal In Allenstown: Watch

ALLENSTOWN, NH — Allenstown and Chichester fire and rescue teams were sent to a construction site on Canal Street for a worker that was injured on Monday.

EMTs were sent to the Lofts at 25 Canal project, the old China Mill, around 10:45 a.m. for a report of a worker who had fallen 10 feet and was injured. Later, firefighters found a boom truck had fallen into the canal next to the building project.

The fire commander told dispatch the boom fell into the canal after a bridge it was on collapsed. One worker was seriously injured. The construction worker was deemed a “Status 3” patient and was taken to Concord Hospital by Chichester EMTs. The worker's medical condition is unknown at post time.
