Workers at the Site |
Work has to be halted as an electrician who was only in his second day on the project plunged 800 feet to his death Thursday from a Los Angeles skyscraper that will be the tallest on the West Coast once it’s completed, according to report by SFGate.
The worker fell around noon from Wilshire Grand Center onto the back edge of a passing car. It happened at one of the busiest times of day at one of the busiest intersections in downtown Los Angeles, when the streets were thronged with people.
The electrician hit the trunk of the car, which was sitting at the corner Wilshire Boulevard and Figueroa Street with the blanket-covered body and a coroner’s tent hours later. The car did not appear to be badly damaged.
