REXBURG — A Brigham Young University-Idaho student is in critical condition after an industrial accident happened on campus Wednesday morning.
The 26-year-old was in a storage room of the machine fabrication shop in the Mark Austin Building when the incident occurred around 11 a.m., according to Madison Fire Department Deputy Chief Troyce Miskin.
“Several students were attempting to move some large steel beams when a stack collapsed on the patient, causing significant injuries and trauma,” Miskin tells EastIdahoNews.com.
Around 12-15 beams, weighing at least 100 lbs. each, fell on the student, Miskin says. Paramedics, Rexburg police officers and university officials rushed to the scene of the accident.
The student was taken by ambulance to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls, where he was in critical condition as of Thursday morning.
“BYU-Idaho invites the campus community and friends to join us in praying for the student and his family,” BYU-Idaho Public Affairs Director Brett Crandall says in a statement to EastIdahoNews.com.
The Austin building houses the automotive, engineering, industrial arts, construction management, welding and metallurgy departments.
“Our prayers are with him. We sure just hope and pray that all will be well,” Miskin says.
