Worker Injured During Bridge Collapse in Naugatuck, CT


Posted on Jun 17, 2010

A serious bridge collapse in Naugatuck, CT has injured one man.  According to the Department of Transportation the bridge was being fully replaced when part of the bridge gave way.  The portion of the bridge that fell had been closed to traffic and the crews were in the process of demolishing it.

The injured worker, Anthony Mariano of Middlebury, is being called a hero.  The Connecticut State Police say that Mariano was running the excavating machine when he became concerned about the safety of the bridge.  Mariano quickly cleared the bridge of all co-workers and was attempting to remove the machine when the bridge collapsed. 

Though Mariano was originally sent to St. Mary's Hospital he was moved to Yale New Haven where he remains in critical condition.

Mariano's son, Michael, believes that his father will survive his injuries. 

"He's a very holy man and our whole family is praying for him.  He's a tough guy.  I'm sure he'll pull out of it."

The staff and attorneys at Glass, Lebovitz, Kasheta & Bren would like to send our thought to the Mariano family.  We hope that Anthony makes a quick and complete recovery.
