FORT WORTH (1080 KRLD) - A construction worker on the 820 East Loop project is critically hurt in a job site accident.

Mike Drivdahl with Fort Worth Fire says it happened at around 8:30 this morning just south of the Loop 820/Highway 121 split.


"(The man) was struck by a piece of either debris or a part of the crane on that construction site," says Drivdahl. "The patient was in critical condition and has been transported via CareFlite to JPS."

Drivdahl says the construction worker is in his late 20s.

The exact nature of the debris is unknown at this time.

"At this time, we do not know if it was a piece of this crane itself or debris or construction material," says Drivdahl.

OSHA is investigating.
