ARCHIVED - Crane operator arrested over death of builder in El Campello
The construction worker died at a building site in El Campello, Alicante comarca on the Costa Blanca.
A 51-year-old crane operator has been arrested by the Guardia Civil following the death of a construction worker, aged 35, at a building site in Avenida Ausiàs March in El Campello on Monday, June 14.
Emergency services initially believed the victim had fallen from the eighth floor of the multi-storey building, but investigations have since determined that he died after being hit by a load which fell from an overhead crane.
According to police sources, the operator allegedly pressed the unload button, causing the load to sway before falling to the eighth floor where the deceased was working.
The 51-year-old has been charged with involuntary manslaughter due to occupational manslaughter and has since been released after making a statement while awaiting trial.
