Worker dies after construction accident at Hanover Inn
A worker at the Hanover Inn construction site died on Tuesday after suffering a serious head injury caused by a construction accident, Hanover Police Chief Nicholas Giaccone said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Dana Lowe, a 53-year-old resident of Morrisville, Vt., was assisting in the erection of steel beams from a scissor lift when a crane ball inadvertently knocked over the aerial lift on which he was standing, according to Giaccone. "He fell about 15 feet and his head struck the concrete floor and some steel beams," he said. Lowe was transported to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in a "semi-unconscious" state, Giaccone said. He died 12 to 15 hours after arriving at DHMC, according to Giaccone.
