The workers people were taken to Stroger Hospital of Cook County and are in critical condition.
Two people were injured in a scaffolding collapse in the East Garfield Park neighborhood on Monday afternoon.
Police received a report of people trapped in the building at 3318 W. Warren Blvd. Once on scene, rescue crews determined that it was scaffolding that fell. Video shared on Instagram by Chicago Critter showed the aftermath of the scaffolding collapse. The two workers on the façade of the Warren Boulevard building fell three stories on the scaffolding.Good Samaritans stepped in on the spot.
"It was a thick piece of concrete boulder-like material on his chest, and two of the guys helped me grab it off of him," said Daniel Hubbard."I do what I can," Hubbard said."You know, when you see another civilian in that state, you have to put your life on the line just like the firefighters do."Later, outside Stroger Hospital of Cook County where both workers were taken, CBS 2's Franza talked with a cousin of one of the men.
The chunk of limestone was too heavy for the scaffolding to hold. It took the metal bars of the scaffolding - and both victims - down with it.
