HOT SPRINGS, S.D. (AP) - Officials say one Hot Springs man was
killed and another was seriously injured when a communications
tower they were dismantling fell on top of them.
Fall River County Emergency Manager Frank Maynard says
54-year-old Tim Anderson died at Rapid City Regional Hospital
shortly after arriving by helicopter Saturday evening.
Anderson was a 33-year employee of Golden West, working as a
special equipment technician.
Tom Embree was flown to the hospital and treated for serious
injuries.
Officials tell the Rapid City Journal that the men were helping
a local amateur radio club take down a 110-foot tower atop Gull
Hill, along old Highway 18 between Minnekahta Junction and
Edgemont.
The tower was no longer in use, so the owner offered it to the
club to be moved to another location.
