A 54-year-old construction worker
died on a building site in Frascineto, near Cosenza, on Friday
afternoon after being crushed by a concrete slab that fell from
a crane, local media reported on Saturday.
Edison Malaj, of Albanian origin, was reportedly working with
colleagues in the yard of the former social winery of Frascineto
when the slab broke loose and fell on top of him.
Police are investigating.
The accident occurred on the same day as the structural collapse
on a building site in Florence that left four construction
workers confirmed dead and another missing feared dead and three
more workers injured.
