Pa. Aerial Ladder Collapses; Man Injured
A man doing a ladder truck certification test was seriously injured Monday afternoon when an outrigger failed.
Clymer Chief Mike Aikens said an outrigger that supports the truck broke at about 2:35 p.m., causing the ladder to fall on the man.
“We had a catastrophic failure on the truck, and he got injured from it,” Aikens told The Tribune Review.
The victim was flown to a trauma center in Oakland.
