Five Injured in Parking Deck Collapse in Atlanta

A parking deck under construction in Atlanta partially collapsed on Friday, officials said, injuring five workers.

Video from news helicopters showed an injured worker lowered by crane from the collapsed section of the deck.

Four construction workers were injured but managed to walk away from the collapse site.

One was trapped with leg injuries, and had to be lowered to the ground by crane, Atlanta Fire Rescue Deputy Chief Glen Riley told reporters at the scene.

Firefighters communicated with a crane operator using a construction worker’s radio to remove the worker who was trapped, Riley said.
