Partial Collapse at Grafton Storage Condo Project Injures 3 Workers

Officials say the cause remains under investigation following safety inspections at the site.

Overview

  • The partially built structure failed Friday morning in the Town of Grafton as crews installed wooden roof trusses.
  • The north wall bowed, triggering a partial roof collapse that sent three workers about 16 feet to the ground.
  • One worker was trapped under debris and was freed after Ozaukee Central Fire Department crews cut through the trusses.
  • All three workers were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the sheriff's office.
  • The collapse occurred in the 300 block of N. Port Washington Road, and the sheriff's office, town inspectors, and OSHA have examined the site.
