Tragedy at Murray Hill Construction Site Claims Worker’s Life

Manhattan, NY — December 13, 2024 — A 45-year-old construction worker died in a tragic accident on East 35th Street in Murray Hill when he was struck in the head while on a cherry picker. The incident occurred near Madison and Park Avenues at approximately 9:15 a.m.

This heartbreaking incident underscores the extremely high-risk environment on NYC construction sites.
