DANIA BEACH, Fla. ā€“ A construction worker was seriously hurt Wednesday when he fell 6 feet from a scaffold in Dania Beach, authorities said.

Because the building currently does not have elevators, crews used a fire truck crane to get the man to the ground. Paramedics transported the man to Memorial Regional Hospital. He hurt his pelvis in the fall, but Kane said his injuries were considered not life-threatening.
