Thought that also, maybe, but the video never showed any concrete trucks.

Sucks that you have to sit thru the commercial to replay the video.

The person that was loaded into the ambulance appeared to move his foot just at the end of that scene.

I hate seeing construction workers get hurt. They're often the ones who can least afford it.

That's the new Oasis sports place across the street from Lakeside Daiquiri. It must have happened right after I drove by.

looks as if a concrete pump truck over reached and came off the out-riggers, possibly crushing someone in the process.....
