Genoa Township, OH — Police said that a worker was badly injured last month after the bucket truck he was working in suddenly broke and dropped him. This was in Westerville along Worthington Road, and the worker was identified as Matt Shaffer.
Staffer was working for a company called Charter Oaks Tree & Landscaping, and was hoisted in the air via a bucket truck. He was working on taking down a tree when something went wrong.
The bucket truck started to tip over as the bucket was raised into the air. Then, if the news reports were correct, it appears that the boom arm actually snapped in half and dropped Shaffer, leaving him injured.
He was rushed to a hospital, but his condition wasn’t released.
This happened on Wednesday, October 21, 2015.
