God Smites Man with Church Steeple
OKLAHOMA CITY -- One of dozens of churchgoers watching a steeple being mounted on top of a newly constructed church building in southwest Oklahoma City was killed when a crane collapsed on top of his vehicle, fire officials said.
Winfred Stafford, 79, was killed while watching the ceremony at the newly constructed South Pointe church, located at Southwest 134th Street and Straka Farms Terrace just west of Interstate 44.
His 78-year-old wife was injured and taken to St. Anthony Hospital in good condition. Witnesses told Eyewitness News 5 that the woman was in the back seat of a vehicle talking to a friend when the crane overturned.
Witnesses said she was able to get out of the vehicle, but her husband was in the front seat and unable to get out in time. People gathered at the ceremony were shouting for the couple to get out of the way of the falling crane.
Fire officials said the church is an additional campus to the Grace Assembly of God church, located at Southwest 54th Street and Young Avenue.
Officials with the U.S. Department of Labor and OSHA are at the scene investigating.
The name of the victim's wife has not been released.
