Worker in elevator shaft decapitated?

A construction worker was decapitated by an elevator car Thursday as he peered into a freight-elevator shaft.

The accident happened at the site of a nine-story former warehouse that is being converted into 140 apartments for students at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.

The 44-year-old man, whose name was not released, was employed by a subcontractor that was doing work for Massaro Corp.

Massaro Corp. president Joseph Massaro III said the elevator operator did not know the man was peering into the shaft. Workers at the site use walkie-talkie-type phones to communicate with each other, Massaro said. Article here.
