Two Wisconsin companies – including one with a previous crane-related worker fatality -- face ten safety citations in the wake of a crane collapse at a bridge construction site last summer that left one man dead and another hospitalized.
The accident occurred at a site near Oshkosh on July 5th. A truck driver died when he was struck by the boom of a crane that overturned while bridge girders were being erected with a multiple crane lift. A worker who was operating the crane was seriously injured when he was thrown from the cab as the crane fell.
