| Construction worker killed on high-rise project Yonkers – A 40-year-old construction worker was killed Monday in an accident at a condominium high-rise that is under construction at 66 Main Street in the City of Yonkers. City Police said the man, who they did not immediately identify, was maneuvering a large concrete slab on the eighth floor of the structure about 9:30 a.m., when something went wrong, causing the slab to fall, landing on similar slabs on lower floors, until they pancaked to the ground. The worker rode the slab on the eighth floor to the third level, when he sustained severe head injuries. He was rushed to Jacobi Hospital, where he was pronounced dead about an hour later. When completed, the building is expected to be 15-stories tall.
