A construction worker on a project site in Yigo was unresponsive when medics arrived at the scene this morning. "Our workers were here, pulled him out, laid him on a board, started CPR on him right off and then I don't think he is going to make it," said Safety Officer Dan Wright.
This morning a male in his late 40s went to work on a construction project site in Yigo with Wandam Corporation. According to Wright, the worker was down in a 4 feet deep and 10 feet wide open footing. He was operating a small tamping machine to snap a line and fell over.
"4 foot deep and about 10 foot wide, there's no danger of falling in or anything like that or cave in anything like that. It was just an unfortunate incident," he said.
Immediately, the construction personnel called 911. Guam Fire Department Spokesperson Kevin Reilly tells KUAM that when they arrived the man was uninjured, without a pulse and breathless. CPR was conducted at the scene and en route to Guam Regional Medical City.
