Worker injured by falling slab in South Yarmouth
Ethan Genter
SOUTH YARMOUTH A worker was flown to an off-Cape hospital Monday after a concrete slab fell on him at a home construction site on Cranberry Lane.
At about 11:25 a.m., rescuers responded to 235 Cranberry Lane, where the 4,000-pound slab had fallen on his chest, breaking several of his bones, said Yarmouth Fire Chief Philip Simonian.
The other workers at the construction site were able to use a pry bar to lift the slab enough to drag him out from underneath it, Simoniansaid. Fire and police officers used ladders to get him out of the hole he was working in.
