TOWN OF GRAFTON, Wis. — Three construction workers were injured when a storage condominium unit under construction partially collapsed in the Town of Grafton on Friday, with one worker becoming trapped under debris.
The workers were securing wooden roof trusses when the north wall bowed and the roof partially collapsed, according to the Ozaukee County Sheriff’s Office.
The collapse caused three workers who had been on the roof to fall approximately 16 feet.
One worker became trapped under debris and had to be freed after the Ozaukee Central Fire Department cut through the trusses. All three workers were taken to the hospital, but none were seriously injured, according to the sheriff's office.
The cause of the collapse at the construction site, located in the 300 block of N. Port Washington Road, remains under investigation.
