Construction worker hospitalized after falling from site in Bal Harbour, officials say

A worker was flown to the hospital Tuesday morning after falling from a ladder at a construction site in Bal Harbour, officials say.

At about 9:10 a.m., ten Miami-Dade Fire Rescue units arrived to the area 9700 block of Collins Avenue after reports that a worker had fallen.

The construction worker fell from a ladder onto the second floor of the structure and was unable to get down, according to MDFR.

Video provided by MDFR shows the worker being lowered in a stokes basket as fellow construction workers looked on before they were airlifted to the North Trauma Center.

MDFR did not provide details on how the worker fell or their condition.

This story will be updated.
