A 32-year-old man was killed today when he crashed his Cadillac into a boom lift on the Platt Bridge while it was closed for construction work overnight, police said.
Two workers who fell about 15-feet to the highway were taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where they were reported in stable condition with nonlife threatening injuries.
Police said the motorist drove his 2007 Cadillac around a construction barrier on the eastbound lanes and struck the boom at high speed about 1:30 a.m.
The man, not yet identified, was pronounced dead at the scene by medics at 1:35 a.m., police said.
