Man Hurt by 400-Pound Roofing Rolls on Michigan Construction Site
Authorities say a man was injured after being pinned by 400-pound roofing rolls at a West Michigan construction site.
The Grand Rapids Press reports 69-year-old Robert Gray of Fairbanks was delivering roofing material Tuesday in Ottawa County’s Zeeland Township when some rolls broke free on a trailer.
Authorities say a forklift driver lifted the rolls off of Gray. The sheriff’s department says Gray was hospitalized in stable condition with head and leg injuries.
