CLARK MILLS, N.Y. — A Utica, N.Y. man died in a construction accident on Tuesday after falling from the roof of a four-story building.
The Oneida County Sheriff’s Office reports that Frankie T. Torchia, 33, had been hired to do construction work on the building and was at the site along with another worker. They were in the process of setting a 30-foot piece of roofing metal on the roof when the wind caught the steel and knocked Torchia from the roof.
