A construction worker was seriously injured when he fell from the scaffolding of a home under construction in a Corona del Mar neighborhood.
According to the Newport Beach Fire Department, rescue crews were called to a residence under construction at Evening Canyon and Shorecliff after a man was reported to have fallen from construction scaffolding. It has not yet been determined whether the worker slipped or the scaffolding collapsed, causing him to fall 6-8 feet. He was impaled by steel rebar in his upper leg and hip area, authorities reported.
The unidentified construction worker was taken to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana in critical condition.
