MADISON TWP. — A construction worker was flown to an area hospital after he fell from scaffolding at the construction site of the future Madison Elementary School.

The Madison Twp. Fire Department responded to the site at about 1:45 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18. The worker was flown to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton.

The worker’s name or condition have not been released, but officials say he works for Haggerman, the masonry subcontractor for the school construction project. No further information was available late Wednesday.

Well---lets see---if he does not speak english-nothing bad happens to him. If he,s union he will get a year off for sick leave-with pay plus a pay raise while he,s off. If-God forbid-he is non-union he will get a phone call while he,s in the hospital bed telling him that he,s fired---because he did,nt get permisson to fall --has his medical coverage cancelled and won,t get unemployment.

My prayers go out to the family and the guy. Our school where he fell said that he broke his jaw and ribs but will be ok. I mean I don't know this for sure yet because so many rumors go around a school.

Prayers to you tough man!
