A worker on a boom truck that was trying to help a commercial vehicle move through a western Minnesota intersection was thrown from the bucket Thursday afternoon, officials say.

 

The condition of the worker is not known.

 

The Minnesota State Patrol said the incident happened near Highway 212 and Highway 75 in Hamlin shortly after noon. 

 

Video acquired by WCCO shows the worker trying to guide the commercial vehicle underneath a traffic light. The boom then moves suddenly and the worker is thrown out of the bucket.

Why are the white people gasping in anguish?! It's not their fault. Is their white guilt that overwhelming?
