A construction worker fell more than 20 feet to the concrete below while working on the new locker room and concession stand at the Armando de Lucaas football stadium Friday. It is the second injury related to school district construction projects in 10 days. Douglas Fire Department paramedics arrived but were have trouble stabilizing his blood pressure, according to reports. While a helicopter was at the field, he was transported by ambulance to Southeast Arizona Medical Center and later air-evaced to Tucson. No further information was available on his condition.
