Fatal work accident: A 30-year-old laborer was killed today (Wednesday) after being trapped under scaffolding that collapsed at a construction site on Jerusalem Boulevard in Ashdod. MDA medics and paramedics worked to rescue Hapoel and took him out when he was unconscious and without signs of life - and he was pronounced dead on the spot.
Yaakov Mazuz, Reuven Katz and Haim Green, medics from United Hatzalah, said that "unfortunately, we had to pronounce him dead at the scene due to the nature of the severe injuries he suffered. According to his friends, the scaffolding collapsed on him and the fire brigade had to retrieve his body."
