PACOIMA, Calif.—An investigation was continuing June 8 into the collapse of a cinder block wall at a construction site in Pacoima that left one worker dead.

Firefighters were sent to the 10500 block of Glenoaks Boulevard, near the Ronald Reagan (118) Freeway, at about 8:50 a.m. Wednesday, the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) reported.

“Firefighters arrived to find a cinder block wall fell and trapped one patient,” according to an LAFD statement.

Javier Calderon Casas, 49, of San Bernardino, died at the scene, according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office. Two other male workers, ages 42 and 45, were hospitalized with minor injuries, the LAFD reported.
