Authorities say two workers were injured when scaffolding collapsed at the site of the new Cleveland County jail in Norman.

Deputy Fire Chief Jim Bailey said Tuesday firefighters found the men when they were called to the scene in north Norman about 12:30 p.m.

Bailey says the 15- to 18-foot high structure was set up inside the building, and had been holding concrete blocks when the blocks came down on the men.

Bailey says one of the workers was taken to Norman Regional Hospital after he complained of back pain. The other worker was transported with multiple contusions, abrasions and a possible leg fracture.

The men's names weren't immediately released.
