Three people were injured when a two-story storage unit they were dismantling collapsed onto them, the Hot Springs Sentinel-Record reported.

The newspaper says it happened shortly before 10 a.m. Monday at 115 Music Mountain Road.

The owner of the unit said he and two others were taking the building down when the second floor fell through. The owner suffered a minor back injury, and the other two people were trapped inside until fire crews arrived and lifted the damaged structure, the newspaper reported.

The two people who had been trapped inside were then taken to CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs for treatment of unspecified injuries.
