Serious accident at work this morning in a construction site of Sant’Alessio Siculo. A 50 -year -old Catania worker, engaged in a building renovation works, was hit in the head by a weight unloaded by the elevation and reported a deep head injury, remaining conscious but in a confused state. The man was rescued by the 118 ambulance and given the seriousness of the situation, the intervention of the helicopter was requested, landed in Santa Teresa di Riva: the injured person was then transferred to the aircraft to be taken to the hospital, But the helicopter was no longer able to take off due to technical problems, probably due to the obstructed turbines of the debris raised during the landing, and so the worker was loaded again on the ambulance and conducted in red code at the Polyclinic of Messina. The carabinieri of the Taormina company and the local police are also on the spot.
