Worker Pinned, Injured While Working On Central Corridor

A construction worker was injured Tuesday morning while working on a section of the Central Corridor light-rail project. The driver of a large fork truck somehow lost control while on a dirt embankment. “When the first crews got here, they found a man pinned in the cab of this fork truck,” said Deputy Chief Todd Steinhilber of the Minneapolis Fire Department. The heavy machinery flipped on its side. With the door facing the ground, the driver was unable to free himself. It’s also believed his leg became pinned between the equipment and the ground.
