A contract worker is dead after an accident at a communications tower on the North Side Monday.
The accident happened on Northwest Military near Camp Bullis. Police say CPS Energy hired a contract worker to place reinforcement bars on a tower.
They said the man accidentally loosened bolts on the bar to which he was attached.
"There were two other workers up there and saw him sort of lean back a little bit. And apparently, after the last bolt that he loosened, he just fell down 225 feet," explained Sergeant Ted Prosser of the San Antonio Police Department.
Police are calling it a tragic accident.
