NORTON, Mass. — Two men were hospitalized Friday morning after getting crushed by a package of large granite slabs at a Norton worksite.
First responders were called to the site of Old Station Outdoor & Landscaping Supply at 142 East Main Street where both two men were found suffering from traumatic injuries.
A 39-year-old employee from Pawtucket and a 53-year-old delivery driver from Lawrence, were transported to Rhode Island Hospital for chest, abdomen and leg injuries that are serious but not believed to be life-threatening.
Investigators say the business was receiving a delivery of slabs when about 5,000 pounds of material fell on the men.
The incident is under investigation by Norton Police and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
