On Tuesday morning August 17, 2010 a construction worker fell approximately 30 feet at the Doylestown Hospital Cancer Center construction site. The worker, who has not yet been identified, was working for Anthony Biddle Contractors Inc. of Ambler. It is reported that he fell 25 feet onto an area where other workers were pouring concrete and then an additional 5 feet onto dirt. The Doylestown Fire Department helped with the man’s rescue.
The injured construction worker was airlifted to Temple University Hospital for treatment because Doylestown Hospital is not a certified neurological trauma center and Temple University could evaluate any potential head injuries or internal injuries.
