MIAMI, FLORIDA (WSVN)
A maintenance worker has died after, authorities said, he
was struck by a glass tabletop that flew off a building's balcony on South
Beach Friday night.
According to Miami Beach Police, the victim was working on
an electric gate at the Flamingo Apartments, located at 1560 Bay Road when,
around 7:45 p.m., the piece of glass flew off one of the balconies on the ninth
floor due to the high winds.
The balcony was located on the other side of the building
where the victim was working, so investigators believe the winds carried the
tabletop all the way to the building's entrance.
Paramedics rushed the worker to Jackson Memorial Hospital,
where he later died. Police have not disclosed his name.
