Three workers were injured Thursday morning when a portion of a roof under construction collapsed in Dublin.

Firefighters, police and paramedics responded to the site, where a new oil change and tire shop is being built off U.S. 80 West, between the Arby’s and Golden Corral restaurants. A large section of truss and framing for the new roof appeared to have fallen on the workers, who were taken by ambulance to nearby Fairview Park Hospital.
