A roofer was killed and another was badly hurt Friday afternoon in a deadly fall near Ames Lake in Redmond.
King County Sheriff’s Sergeant Katie Larson says they received a call about the accident a little after 4 p.m. The two men had been working on a moss-covered, cedar shake roof, when the accident occurred.
“It would appear that the men fell approximately 50 feet onto a cement walkway,” Larson said.
When emergency personnel arrived, one of the men was pronounced dead at the scene. The other was taken to the hospital with a number of injuries, including multiple broken bones.
The man’s condition has not been released. The residents of the house weren’t at home at the time of the accident.
