Emergency crews were called to a collapse at a construction site in Columbia County where one worker has been killed.
Crews say an embankment collapsed around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday at a bridge project off Route 42 in Greenwood Township, near Millville.
One neighbor describes this as a “horrifying scene” on Eyersgrove Road.
According to emergency crews, an embankment collapsed, partially burying one of the men working on the bridge over Little Fishing Creek.
The coroner is at the scene.
According to PennDOT, a contractor, Susquehanna Supply out of Williamsport, is in charge of the bridge project. It started in June.
The crew is reconstructing, repainting, and paving parts of the bridge.
Firefighters say crews are now working to prevent the embankment from collapsing again. After they determine the area around the bridge is safe they will remove the man’s body.
The victim’s name has not been released.
