CLEVELAND (AP) -- One worker was killed and another was injured when a retaining wall collapsed Monday at a parking deck construction project at Cleveland State University.
Chalmer Taylor of Cleveland died at the scene, according to Cuyahoga County Coroner Elizabeth Balraj. An autopsy was scheduled for today, she said.
The injured worker's name and condition were not immediately available.
University spokesman Brian Johnston said the workers were trapped when the wall at the campus near Interstate 90 apparently collapsed around 11 a.m.
