Miracle saves Lancaster in county plant disaster
Lancaster, living at 232 Dewey Avenue in St. Vincent's hospital, survived a catastrophic tank collapse at the county water treating plant. A 100000 pound mass of steel and water crushed the structure, narrowly missing a fatal outcome as Lancaster was trapped between timbers. He suffered a broken arm a dislocated shoulder and eye injuries from lime water but will recover. The incident caused major damage and a $509 plumbing cost to the rear wall, with losses totaling roughly the project’s value. J McWilliams Co of Louisville is the contractor.
