Drilling Rig Collapses Onto Vehicles in Miami, Leaving Four Injured
Miami Fire Rescue said two trapped workers were freed from a crushed container and all four injured people were taken to hospitals in stable condition.
- On Monday, an 85-foot drill rig collapsed onto three vehicles and a construction container in Miami's Brickell neighborhood, injuring four people near billionaire Ken Griffin's Citadel project.
- Miami Fire Rescue Chief Robert Hevia reported that crews simultaneously extinguished a fire and extricated two workers trapped in a crushed metal container with minor injuries.
- Dashcam footage captured the rig falling onto a BMW SUV; the driver reversed and escaped before flames engulfed the vehicle, while the operator jumped to safety as the rig tipped.
- Related Companies, the project developer, is cooperating with city and county building departments to investigate the collapse cause, while Brickell Bay Drive remains closed for diesel spill cleanup.
- The incident occurred about six weeks after a separate crane collapse at One Plaza West, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration will investigate the equipment failure.
