EARLIER, June 3:

WASHINGTON — A construction worker died after being trapped on the roof of the National Museum of African American History and Culture Wednesday.

D.C. Fire was called to the scene at about 1 p.m. to perform a high-angle rescue of a construction worker on the roof.

D.C. Fire department spokesman Tim Wilson says the worker was transported to an area hospital in critical condition. The metal panel subcontractor later died.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration and others are investigating the incident. There were no other injuries.

The subcontractor worked for Clark/Smoot/Russell — the general contractor at the museum.

“As always, safety on our jobsites is our highest priority. The entire project team extends its deepest sympathies to this gentleman’s family and will keep them in our thoughts and prayers,” says a statement from Clark/Smoot/Russell.

The 400,000-square-foot museum sits on a five-acre piece of land between the Washington Monument and the National Museum of American History. The museum is under construction with plans to open in 2016.

Officials have not released any additional details at this time.
