Montgomery County Man Killed In Accident In Massachusetts

POTTSTOWN, PA -- A Pottstown man died in a fall from a ladder while working as a contract employee at a business in Massachusetts on Tuesday.

Anthony Lyon, 42, was on a ladder at ITW Polymers Adhesives in Danvers when the incident occurred at around 8:38 a.m.

It's not yet clear what led to Lyon's fall. A spokesperson for the company was not immediately available for comment Wednesday.

Lyons was conscious but had sustained severe injuries when first responders arrived on the scene. He went into cardiac arrest while being transported from the scene of the accident to a Medflight helicopter.

Medics made the decision to reroute to Beverly Hospital. Lyon reportedly died en route to the facility.

He was employed by Allentown-based Tougher Sheet & Steel.
