I WANTED TO REMOVE THE REST OF THE GLASS: Details of the tragedy in Novi Kneževac, the engineer fell through the ceiling and fell directly from the height of 9 meters directly onto the concrete

As “Novosti” learns, the unfortunate man fell from the roof of the “Jovan Jovanović Zmaj” Primary School from a height of 8.80 meters, falling through the polyester-covered part. He died on the spot, because he fell from a great height onto a concrete surface. He came to the school building, which is being rebuilt, to control the workers.

– The engineer climbed on the roof of the building and when he wanted to remove the rest of the old glass, he inadvertently changed from tin to the old part of the roof covered in polyester with fiberglass. Unfortunately, the polyester cracked and collapsed from a height of 8.80 meters and fell onto the concrete surface. The doctor on duty at the Novi Kneževci Health Center could only declare death on the spot. “Novosti” found out from a source close to the investigation.

The tragedy occurred in the building of the primary school “Jovan Jovanović Zmaj” in Novi Kneževci, on Kralja Petra Prvig Karađorđevića13.
