Authorities say a construction worker has died after scaffolding collapsed in Huntington County.
The Huntington County Coroner’s Office says emergency personnel were called to the Indiana 105 bridge over Salamonie Lake about 7:20 a.m. Tuesday. Indiana Department of Natural Resources conservation officers and an agency dive team recovered the man’s body in about 39 feet of water.
The Journal Gazette reports the worker was wearing a harness, but he wasn’t tethered. The cause of death is pending an autopsy. The man’s name was being withheld pending notification of family.
