GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Authorities say a man has died after being pinned under a slab of concrete that fell on him while he was working on a porch at a Michigan home.
Officers with the Grand Blanc Township Police Department responded Tuesday and learned that the 67-year-old man had been trying to remove the concrete slab when it collapsed. An officer and others quickly lifted the slab off the man and he was taken to a hospital, where police said he died.
The man’s name wasn’t immediately released. Police Chief Ron Wiles described the man as a relative of the homeowner and said what happened was a “tragic, freak accident.”
