Eugene emergency response teams cary Rodney Schultz away from the Bean construction site on July 21.
Worker loses foot in rare accident
■ CONSTRUCTION: A wall
fell on the foot of Rodney
Schultz last Monday during
work on Bean West
By Michael Hines
Oregon Daily Emerald
A construction accident at the
Bean Residence Hall July 21 was
the worst the project manager has
ever seen.
A portion of a brick wall fell
on the right foot of a 2G Con
struction worker, project manag
er Dave Coleman said.
Rodney Schultz, a 2G Con
struction employee for three
years, was taken to Sacred Heart
Medical Center, where his foot
was later amputated. Schultz was
released Monday.
The accident was due to hu
man error.
“We’ve analyzed it,” Coleman
said. “It was a mistake in judg
ment.”
The wall had less support than
officials had calculated, Coleman
said, and the result was the par
tial collapse of the wall.
This was the only major acci
dent during the two-summer
Bean construction project, Hous
ing Facilities Director Nancy
Wright said. Last summer, Bean
East was renovated. The work
this summer is in Bean West,
near East 15th Avenue and Agate
Street.
The accident occurred at the
Southwest corner of the building
near the crosswalk on 15th Av
enue.
Although, as the accident
proved, the Bean construction
zone can be dangerous, the pro
ject has been relatively safe, Cole
man said.
He said that 2G Construction
takes measures to keep non
workers from entering the site.
“We accost anybody who ap
proaches the site and ask them to
leave if they do not belong,”
Coleman said.
The company also secures the
excavation points and has some
fencing in place.
Most of the current work on
Bean is being done on the inside,
which may make the building
look safer, he said.
Coleman estimated between 35
and 40 workers are on the site be
tween 6:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.
“It’s kind of a confined site,”
he said.
This causes some extra danger.
Space does not exist on the site
to load and unload trucks, so ma
terial handling is done in the
street. Coleman urges that people
use caution when traveling
through the area because of the
trucks and occasional flaggers.
“The main danger is from the
activity,” he said.
The project is on schedule, of
ficials said. The construction will
finish in the middle of Septem
ber.
“They did an outstanding job
last year,” Wright said, “and
they’re doing a great job this
year.”
2G Construction hopes to con
tinue to employ Schultz in some
capacity after his recuperation,
Coleman said.

Two killed in crash near
Clackamas Town Center
The Associated Press
PORTLAND — A small
plane apparently suffering en
gine problems crashed into a
cul-de-sac in a residential
neighborhood near Clackamas
Town Center on Monday after
noon, killing two teenagers
and injuring a third.
Witnesses said they heard
the engine of the Cessna 172
sputtering about 2:50 p.m. just
before it plunged into the
neighborhood just north of
Camp Withycombe, an Oregon
National Guard training base.
The crash occurred just 50
feet from the nearest house,
but no one on the ground was
injured, said Damon Coates,
spokesman for the Clackamas
County sheriffs office.
The pilot, Mike Rhoten, 19,
and his best friend, Josh
Critchett, 17, were killed.
Emily Takahashi, 17, was
taken by helicopter ambulance
to University Hospital in Port
land.
She was in critical condition
with severe head and abdomi
nal injuries and a fractured
pelvis, hospital spokesman
Marlys Levin said.
All three teenagers were
from the same area in Clacka
mas where the crash occurred,
Coates said. Rhoten apparent
ly had brought his friends
along for the ride.
“The pilot’s parents say he
was working toward his com
mercial pilot’s license and was
logging as many hours as pos
sible,” Coates said.
“He was flying on a daily ba
sis. He was on one of those ex
cursions today. Tonight, he
planned yet another trip.”
Rhoten had leased the plane
from Aurora Aviation, but it
was unclear whether the com
pany owned it, Coates said.
