A worker at a residential job site in Edgartown is in critical condition after falling about 20 feet Tuesday.
Rescue crews responded to a construction site on Trapps Pond Road at about 2:45 p.m. and took the man to Martha’s Vineyard Hospital, Edgartown fire Chief Alex Schaeffer said.
Chief Schaeffer said the man was in critical condition, but did not have further information early Tuesday evening. A spokesperson for the Cape and Islands District Attorney's Office said the incident is under investigation and declined to comment.
Tuesday’s injury follows a fatal fall by a worker at an Edgartown affordable housing project in February. Jose Collaguazo Crespo, 32, of Fall River, fell about two stories onto a concrete basement while working at the Meshacket Commons project.
