By injuheis on April 2, 2009
A man injured in an Annapolis crane accident on Thursday, February 5, 2009, was reported to be stable but in critical condition, according to hospital officials with the Maryland Shock Trauma Center. A recent article in the Baltimore Sun said that Edward Cifaldo, 46, of Red Lion, PA, was sitting in the cab of a large construction crane that was lifting heating and cooling units onto the roof of a fitness center under construction.
At the time of the report, it was not yet clear how or why the Maryland construction accident occurred, but officials say that a pulley and other heavy equipment fell onto the cab of the crane, which caused Cifaldo to suffer critical injuries. Emergency personnel responding to the scene of the crane accident helped extricate Cifaldo from the wreckage of the crane’s cab and he was airlifted by helicopter to Maryland Shock Trauma Center.
The construction accident took place at the Annapolis Towne Center in Parole. This same development was the site of a fatal construction accident 10 months earlier when a crane at the site was being dismantled and a piece of the crane fell on a man and trapped him.
