Rescue teams lowered the injured worker to the floor below using ladders and special rescue equipment due to the location on the roof and unsafe area near where he was found, according to a press release from the City of Charlottesville Office of Communications.

He was transported to UVA Medical Center. The release stated CFD's Tower 10 used the bucket at the tip of the unit to load and lower the construction worker to a ladder onto the ground.





The injured worker was then taken to the University of Virginia Health System with non-life-threatening injuries.

Twenty-four CFD personnel along with the Charlottesville-Albemarle Rescue Squad and Charlottesville Police Department responded to the crane collapse, according to the release.
