A college freshman planning to major in nursing was among four people who were killed when a crane fell from a downtown Seattle building into traffic.
Harborview Medical Center said Sunday that a 28-year-old man remained in satisfactory condition. A 25-year-old woman and her 4-month-old baby were treated and discharged on Saturday, it said. A fourth person was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
That's because the crane must be moved to stabilize the facade of the building and roadway damage still needs to be repaired, Zimbabwe said.Mark Lawless, a construction safety and crane expert in Seattle, told"But when they happen, they're serious," Lawless said. The last fatal crane accident in Washington occurred in Bellevue, a suburb of Seattle, in 2006 when a crane fell into an apartment building, killing a resident. A flawed foundation design and inadequate maintenance of the crane's base were blamed for the accident.
