GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) — Authorities say a construction worker has died after falling into an elevator shaft at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
Airport spokesman David Magana on Thursday identified the victim as 55-year-old Craig Rowell from Point. Magana says Rowell was a construction subcontractor employee.
Magana says the accident happened Wednesday afternoon at Terminal A, near Gate 39, in an area walled off for construction. Rowell was transported to a Fort Worth hospital, where he died overnight.
Magana says DFW airport has instituted a safety-related halt to its active construction programs amid a review of the accident.
