ROCKLAND (WGME) — A man was critically injured and died from his injuries in Rockland Saturday morning after a garage collapsed on him.

According to the Rockland Fire Department, workers on scene at 52 Crescent Street called 911 to report that a worker was trapped underneath a garage that was being demolished.  Rockland emergency crews arrived within minutes and worked for the next hour to first remove the building from him and then to revive him. But police said that Kendall Ross, 37, of Rockland, later was pronounced dead.

The man wasn’t conscious by the time Rockland Police arrived at the scene.

The fire department arrived and began to set up their Paratech Airbag System to lift the weight of the roof off the man to get to his location.

The department was able to lift and stabilize the structure in order to retrieve the man and began emergency life saving measures which were unsuccessful.
