Tower crane dropped load victim is daughter of bricklayer

The woman fighting for her life after being hit by a pallet of bricks dropped from a tower crane in east London is the daughter of  a construction worker.

Michaela Bloor, 29, is still in a critical condition in hospital following the accident at a Higgins Homes site on Monday.

Her father Matthew Bloor works for Hertfordshire based brickwork and blockwork specialist Maytrix Construction as a bricklayer.

Maytrix has now set up a JustGiving fund raising page in a bid to raise £20,000 for the family.

The firm said: “Matthew’s work collegues have asked us to start this page to help him and his family at this difficult time.

“Our thoughts are with Matthew and his family at this time. Any donations to assist them would be gratefully received.”
