A construction worker reportedly fell into the lake at the Gardens of Woodberry residential complex while working on repairing a pipe near the lake Wednesday.
Jordan Lee, who has lived in Woodberry for 25 years, said it was early this afternoon when police and fire rescue officials swarmed the area.
“First thing I heard was the sirens, and they were loud,” Lee said.
He and other neighbors said a group of construction workers had been repairing a pipe near the lake since Monday. Palm Beach Gardens police officers and Palm Beach Gardens Fire Rescue officials responded to the call.
“They got the divers to come,” stated Lee. “Everybody was looking for him.”
Police said the victim was taken to a nearby hospital but, did not identify the person. They also have not confirmed the victim’s condition.
“I’d like to think that something good could happen and maybe he would be revived or something but, with all the time that went by, I just don’t think it’s gonna be true,” Lee said. “My prayers are with the family.”
Lee and several neighbors said situations like these are uncommon for their neighborhood. The incident is still under investigation.
