KEY LARGO, Fla. – A worker died after falling from a crane in a construction accident in Key Largo Tuesday afternoon, Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay said. The crane was on a barge in the water behind a home under construction on Mutiny Place. The crane apparently fell off the barge with the worker still on it, sending him plunging into the water, sources said. Ramsay said the workers had been constructing a dock. Monroe County Sheriff's Office divers responded to the incident. Officers with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission as well as Key Largo firefighters were also at the scene.
