The details about the situation are sketchy, but according to a report, a counter-weight fell on the worker.
Per Bob Redell of NBC Bay Area:
"Worker fell down elevator shaft at 49ers stadium accordion to an electrician working on the site"
The accident was reported at around 6:45 AM local time and happened on what will be the east side of the stadium once construction is complete.
