Two males died when a crane collapsed at a worksite in Everett.
“Our hearts go out to both victims, both young men, may they rest in eternal peace,” Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria stated on the web site of the tragedy Friday.
The unidentified males had been working as subcontractors at a jobsite on the Rover Road marine dock in Everett when a crane collapsed. The positioning is the previous Exxon terminal on the Mystic River.
The incident is below investigation by the Everett Police Division, the Massachusetts State Police and the Workplace of the Chief Medical Examiner.
“We are devastated to learn that two individuals employed by a subcontractor have died following a horrific accident at one of our job sites,” Robert Delhome, the CEO of Constitution Contracting, which managed the positioning, wrote in a press release. “We are actively coordinating with all relevant public safety officials to understand why and how this happened. We’re grateful for the quick response from the police and EMS, and extend our deepest sympathies to anyone affected by this tragedy.”
DeMaria wrote in a ready assertion that the Everett “community mourns alongside all those affected by this tragedy.”
“The City will continue to fully support and cooperate with the ongoing investigation into this devastating incident,” he added.
