2 Miami Construction Workers Impaled

MIAMI, FL — Two construction workers in the Brickell section of Miami were impaled Wednesday by steel bars while four other workers were trapped for a time on a construction site.

"A bundle of rebar that was being transported from the ground level onto a higher level where the construction was taking place had a malfunction," Lt. Pete Sanchez of Miami Fire Rescue told reporters at the scene.

"It trapped three of them, and one was able to self extricate," Sanchez added. "The other two construction workers were actually impaled within the rebar."
