WEST FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA
UPDATE: A 25 year old construction worker was rushed to the
hospital Tuesday afternoon for emergency medical attention after a work site
accident.
25 year old Chad Miller of West Fargo is at Essentia
Hospital tonight. He was taken there shortly after 4:00 Tuesday afternoon.
Miller was working at an apartment building that is going up
at 815 34th Avenue East in West Fargo. Police tell us the construction fork
lift flipped onto its side.
As it did this, the entire lift fell, striking
another lift.
Miller was in the basket of the lift but fell out, when it
tipped.
He was pinned under shingles and other construction
equipment.
We have no condition report, but we do know he suffered
significant injuries to his legs and arm.
The West Fargo Police Department is still investigating the
cause of the accident.

going up at 815 34th Avenue East in West Fargo, that's just off of Veterans
