Plaza Construction, the company managing the construction of the subway entrance nearby a building located on 42nd Street and Eight Avenue, released a statement on Thursday that said, “We are cooperating fully with the appropriate city agencies to ensure safety measures at the work site.”
Three other workers sustained minor injuries in the 4:17 a.m. accident, according to fire officials.
