A man fatally fell 11 stories down an elevator shaft at a Houston construction site Thursday, according to a spokesman for CF Jordan Construction.
Houston Police Department spokesman John Cannon confirms that there was an industrial-related death at a construction site at 2929 Weslayan near West Alabama around noon.
CF Jordan Construction is building a 35-story residential tower at the address.
HFD rescue is at the scene and it is still an active incident, according to Houston Fire Department spokesman Capt. Ruy Lozano.
"We are currently investigating the cause of the accident with OSHA, and we are trying to learn as much as we can," said Mark Gudenas, VP of communications with CF Jordan Construction. "This is a great tragedy."
Gudenas says the worker, a male, works for a sub-contracting group on site
