Final narrative
On May 21, 2024, temporary concrete barriers along a bridge edge were being moved two feet back using a front-end loader with forks. The forks became entangled in some rebar, so the barrier being lifted was set back down. The injured employee went to investigate, lost his footing, and fell backward off the edge of the bridge deck 24 feet to the lower boom of the mobile elevated work platform (MEWP). He then fell from the MEWP another 5 feet onto soft mud ground. He sustained a head laceration, punctured lungs, and fractures to his pelvis and leg.
