Long Islanders dealing with second straight day of bitterly cold temperatures
8h ago A female construction worker remains in
critical condition Sunday after being electrically shocked at the Mineola Long Island
Rail Road Station.
Officials say a contract construction crew was working on a pedestrian bridge
around 9:30 a.m. Saturday when a crane came in contact with a high voltage
line.
The nearby ironworker was electrocuted and is in the intensive care unit.
SMART Transportation, which represents many union workers on the LIRR is
calling for a full safety review on the
project to determine whether the MTA is rushing the job and cutting corners on
safety.
Anthony Simon with SMART Transportation Union 824 says safety is the most
important rule that they have.
“I am concerned that they are jeopardizing people’s lives so they can cut a
ribbon,” Simon says.
The MTA says it is reviewing all of its safety protocols and procedures.
