Three construction workers were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center after they fell from a cherry picker at a construction site in Miami Beach on Friday afternoon.
Miami Beach Fire Rescue responded to the site near West 53rd Street and Collins Avenue. Officials said the workers fell about 20 feet. Their conditions were not known as of the latest report.
It remains unclear how the fall happened. The report did not say whether the lift malfunctioned or whether the workers were using safety equipment at the time.
The incident is a reminder of the risks of elevated work on the busy Collins Avenue corridor, where crews often operate lifts near pedestrians and traffic. WSVN said it would update the story as more details become available.
