Local men rescued from crane on Monongahela Bridge
Two construction workers from W D Wright Contracting Co. were rescued after a crane toppled on the Smithfield Street Bridge over the Monongahela River Thursday night. David Bender of Wampum clung to the cherry picker basket as a riverboat from the Gateway Clipper fleet moved under him and dropped to its deck. Steve Main of Fombell jumped to the boat deck. Both men were not seriously injured after the crane’s hydraulic brace failed and the truck clipped a bridge girder. Police on the bridge directed ropes to the men before the riverboat rescue.
