Work accident at the Cumbidanovu dam in Orgosolo.

A worker fell from a height of about 4 meters: while he was working on the wall of the construction site, for reasons yet to be ascertained, the rope to which he was secured came loose and he fell. Rescued immediately first by other workers and then by an ambulance from 118, he was taken by helicopter to the San Francesco hospital in Nuoro with a red code for trauma to the spinal column.

Subjected to further checks, his life is not in danger. The Carabinieri are on site.

In recent months, work has restarted to close the construction site that is a symbol of unfinished works in Sardinia - construction began way back in 1989 - within three years.
