Comments 0 | Recommend 0
EL PASO - A 54-year-old man helping to build a back porch on an El Paso-area home is dead after the porch fell on him.
The construction site was just east of El Paso in the Montana Vista subdivision.
El Paso County sheriff's Deputy Jesse Tovar says Fernando Ortega Mandujano (man-doo-HAH'-noh) and another man were building the porch when it collapsed about 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Tovar says Mandujano was trapped and died of massive head injuries. The other man was able to pull himself from the rubble and call 911.
