POMPANO BEACH, Fla. — Four workers are safe after getting stuck on a drawbridge that went up unexpectedly in Florida
Pompano Beach city spokeswoman Sandra King says hydraulics failed on a bridge under reconstruction Wednesday morning, causing it to rise while Department of Transportation workers were still on it.
Three workers were brought down in harnesses. A fourth was left trapped in the air over the Intracoastal Waterway.
Live television footage showed the worker clutching a guard rail before being rescued by firefighters.
