Construction Accident Claims Life of New York City Man


Posted on Nov 19, 2011

A New York City construction worker was killed while working on a Bronx construction site last month. This fatal construction accident occurred on Saturday, October 30 while a crew was doing demolition work on a commercial site.

According to the New York Police Department, 51-year-old Muhamed Kebbeth of Story Avenue in the Bronx was trapped in a two-story commercial building when about a dozen pillars in the basement gave way and the building collapsed. Firefighters from the New York Fire Department dug Mr. Kebbeth out from the rubble of bricks and debris. Using just their hands, the firefighters were able to free Mr. Kebbeth from the six feet of debris in about 10 minutes. Approximately 50 firefighters responded to the accident call.

People in a carpet store nearby heard the collapse and called 911 for help. Two other New York construction workers were also involved in this accident, but they reportedly escaped unharmed. Their names have not yet been reported by the media. Neither has the media identified the owner of the construction site where the accident occurred.

We extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Muhamed Kebbeth following this tragic New York City construction accident.
