A worker survived a fall of nearly five stories from an apartment building under construction in Hackensack on Wednesday, authorities said.
The 45-year-old framer from Newark was intubated in critical but stable condition at Hackensack University Hospital following the mishap on Kinderkamack Road near westbound Route 4 shortly before 1 p.m., they said.
The victim “misstepped and fell approximately 50 feet onto a concrete slab,” Detective Capt. Darrin DeWitt said.
“He was conscious but bleeding from his head and appeared to have injuries throughout his body,” DeWitt said.
City police, firefighters and paramedics responded. OSHA was notified.
The accident occurred two days after a worker from Clifton was seriously injured in a 30-foot fall at a Hackensack plant.
ORADELL A hole in the roof of the Blauvelt Mansion that alarmed preservationists has been repaired, but there are lingering worries about the fate of the historic mansion.
The shingle-style, 25-room estate, which sits atop a long grassy hill on Kinderkamack Road at Soldier Hill Road, has been in limbo for years. CareOne, a network of assisted living facilities, had contracted with the mansion s former owner, Jeffrey Wells, to build an assisted-care facility on the property’s front lawn in 2007, but two proposals have been rejected by the borough.
CareOne bought the property outright in a foreclosure auction in 2013, and no new plans for the site have been proposed since.
