WASHINGTON, Pa. — Work at a demo site in Washington County is on hold after an excavator tipped over into a hole.
A Washington County 911 supervisor tells Channel 11 that the excavator tipped over on its side in the Courthouse Square demolition site around 9:35 a.m.
We’re told the operator was never trapped. A Washington County spokesperson says the operator was evaluated by medics on scene, but never taken to the hospital.
The official says Washington County leaders have “requested a public safety incident report from the general contractor,” including information about the operator and his condition, as well as the company he was employed by.
This is a developing story that will be updated as Channel 11 learns more.
