Construction worker in serious condition after fall

A 37-year-old construction worker has been rushed to hospital in serious condition, but it could have been a lot worse.

The man was working at a site on Jeanne Mance and Cyr Wednesday morning when he fell off a platform, falling more than 10 feet in a hole.  The platform then collapsed on top of him.

Fortunately for the man, the platform was larger than the hole, so he wasn’t crushed.

He was treated on the scene before being taken to hospital with a fractured skull, broken arm, concussion, hip injuries and arm and face lacerations.
