Seattle Pacific University officials say one of its students was among the four people killed when a construction crane fell from a building and crashed onto one of Seattle’s busiest streets.
The university says in a statement that Sarah Wong was a freshman who intended to major in nursing and lived on campus.
The university says Wong was in a car when the crane fell from a building under construction on Google’s new Seattle campus onto Mercer Street Saturday afternoon.
Tim Church, a spokesman for the Washington Department of Labor & Industries, says the agency formally opened an investigation into four companies — general contractor GLY, Northwest Tower Crane Service Inc., Omega Rigging and Machinery Moving Inc. and Morrow Equipment Co. LLC. Church said he didn’t know where the companies are based.
