The Boring Company’s tunneling operations have been temporarily suspended at one of the company’s construction sites as regulatory officials investigate a “crushing injury” Wednesday evening that took place in Las Vegas, according to spokespeople from the local fire department and OSHA.
Boring Company employees told emergency responders that a “coworker had sustained a crushing injury,” according to a spokeswoman for the Clark County Fire Department, who told Fortune in an email that the department received a call about an “industrial/machinery incident” at approximately 10:12 p.m. Wednesday evening. An 18-person rescue crew was dispatched, and the Fire Department used an on-site crane to lift the worker from the tunnel. The worker was subsequently transported to a local hospital, the Fire Department says. “The patient is reported to be stable,” the spokeswoman said. The hospital did not return an immediate request for comment.
