Amtrak is shutting down one track in the area of State Street in Hamden after three construction workers fell nearly 30 feet while on the job Thursday afternoon, according to the fire department.
According to police, the workers were climbing off the roof of a building under construction and onto an aerial lift shortly after 2 p.m. Thursday when the machine shifted and the workers tumbled down.
They were taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital for treatment of serious but non-life threatening injuries, police and fire officials said.
Police and firefighters are responding to the scene and have notified the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which is sending a crew to investigate, according to the fire department.
Amtrak police were also called to the scene. Firefighters said Amtrak service should not be affected by the track closure.
More information will be posted once it becomes available.
