Six people were injured while constructing a church in Asheville on Friday, according to news reports.
The construction accident occurred around 10:30 a.m. Friday when people were constructing the Korean Methodist Church at 25 Mills Gap Road in Asheville. As they were working, the roof trusses collapsed, trapping three people and injuring six total, according to news reports.
While six people were injured in the collision, two refused treatment, according to the Buncombe County Emergency Operations Center Dispatcher. The remaining four were transported to Mission Hospital in Asheville. According to news reports, one victim is in serious condition and two are in fair condition.
As a North Charleston personal injury lawyer, I’m saddened to hear about this construction accident. I hope all the victims in this accident are able to recover fully and quickly. I hope crews can determined what caused the roof trusses to fall and injury these workers so an accident like this can be prevented in the future. Construction work can be very dangerous and injuries at work sites can cause life-threatening injuries.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction accident and think you deserve workers’ compensation, contact a personal injury lawyer in North Charleston.
