One Worker Killed, Another Injured When Jamaica Plain Porch Collapses
One worker was killed and another critically injured when the decking they were installing on a third-story porch at 89 Forest Hills Street in Jamaica Plain suddenly gave way just before 11 a.m. Tuesday. At least one of the men fell to the ground.
Both workers were immediately transported to area hospitals, The Boston Globe reports.
Boston police, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the city’s Inspectional Services Department are all investigating the incident.
Nina Peguero, the witness, told the Globe that first responders had shut down the street and residents of the home under construction were told to stay inside.
