Worker Injured When Scaffold Collapses In Pasadena

A worker was seriously injured Wednesday when a scaffold collapsed at a construction site in Pasadena.

The worker suffered back and neck injuries, according to Lisa Derderian of the Pasadena Police Department. KNBC reported that the worker was on the scaffold when it collapsed.
The collapse occurred at a five-story office building under construction at DeLacey Street and Orange Place. [this is right near Curtis' shop]

Derderian said a large tarp was placed on the scaffold Wednesday morning. She said wind might have caused the tarp to pull the scaffold. The scaffold fell onto cars in a parking lot. About 12 vehicles in the lot were damaged. Thirty workers were at the site
