The two scissor lifts toppled over, seriously hurting at least two workers who were rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center. A third was taken to Kendall Regional Medical Center, according to Local 10 News.

The accident occurred near 1200 Northwest 57th Avenue, and could be the site of 800 Waterford Tower, a 10-story office building that recently broke ground.

A spokesperson for TIAA-CREF was looking into the accident, and was not aware of it occurring at the development site. TIAA is co-developing 800 Waterford along with Allianz Real Estate of America. [Local 10] Amanda Rabines
