DORAL, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say two construction workers were injured when a concrete beam fell at a South Florida college parking garage that's being built to replace another garage that collapsed four years ago.
The Miami Herald (http://goo.gl/fWQJmg) reports that the partial collapse occurred Friday afternoon at Miami Dade College's West campus in Doral.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue confirmed that two construction workers were transported to a local hospital, and one of the injuries was a trauma alert. Officials didn't believe anyone was trapped in the rubble.
Miami Dade College released a statement saying classes and operations at the campus were not impacted.
In October 2012, a major portion of the garage at the campus collapsed, killing four construction workers and injuring seven others. That structure was completely razed, and the new garage has a new design.
