Christopher, Thank you. A woman died in a construction accident
outside of the Peterson Events Center near the University of
Pittsburgh.
Emergency crews called just before 11 today for reports of
a woman with a head injury lying in the street.
She was hit by a large metal cylinder that came
from a construction site at the Peterson Events Center,
obviously a construction site here behind where we're currently standing.
And there was a large metal steel drum that escaped
from the construction site,
rolled down the hill, broke through a section of fencing.
The woman was on the sidewalk St.
area when she was struck by this runaway heavy piece
of metal.
Bystanders say they tried CPR,
but the woman's injuries were too severe.
Once medics arrived, she was pronounced dead.
