Murphy Tease, a construction worker, was severely injured late this morning at a Bomasso Engineering Co. construction site due to a lack of security precautions and a big gust of wind.

After falling off of a 15 inch wide beam and plummeting 40 feet onto a concrete base, Murphy Tease, a riveter for Bomasso Engineering Co., is recovering. Tease sustained multiple injuries, including a concussion, broken right arm, three broken ribs, and a fractured left leg. According to the County Sheriff Oscar Beebe, who was reporting on the accident, Tease is in satisfactory condition.

The contraction site off of Stairwell Road was putting up the steel post-and-beam framing for a furniture warehouse. No safety lines were installed at the site, despite the city's buildings department order after a violation that occurred the previous week.

Tease recovering at St. Luke's Hospital; no further information has been released about how the company is handling the accident.
