The worker was taken to a hospital for treatment, and was alert and conscious, authorities said. The 3,000-space parking garage is being built at one of Emory University’s hospitals just north of downtown Atlanta. Stafford said Saturday that a construction problem, not a faulty design, was to blame for that first collapse. Firefighters on Friday cut out one worker trapped under debris with saws and lowered him to the street, Atlanta Fire Rescue Deputy Chief Glen Riley said. Other construction workers were injured but managed to walk away from the collapse, Riley told reporters at the scene.
