Construction worker injured in 20-foot fall at LBJ Hospital site

A construction worker was injured Tuesday morning after falling about 15 to 20 feet at a construction site at LBJ Hospital, according to the Houston Fire Department.

Officials say the 32-year-old worker fell from the third floor to the second floor of the structure, but details as to how he fell were not disclosed.

He reportedly complained of arm and back pain and appeared disoriented after the fall.

Emergency crews used a crane to lower the worker to the ground before transporting him to the LBJ Hospital emergency room for treatment.
