Two workers were seriously injured Monday afternoon in a construction accident at a Southeast Washington building, a fire department spokesman said.

Both men were struck by a concrete pump around 3:52 p.m., said Vito Maggiolo, a spokesman with D.C. Fire and EMS.

Maggiolo said the workers were 15 feet in the air and working on the scaffolding of a Atlantic Street SE building when they were injured by the industrial equipment. A rescue basket was used to get both men to safety, and they were taken to area hospitals, he said.
