SUMMIT, S.D.–Ten workers were injured Monday afternoon when large, heavy rafters on a dairy barn they were constructing collapsed on them.
It happened southwest of Summit at 45240 146th Street.
Of the ten, one sustained critical injuries. Five of the injured were taken to Prairie Lakes Hospital in Watertown, three to Milbank and two to Webster.
Grant County Deputy Sheriff Wesley Bowsher says there were multiple agencies from across northeast South Dakota that responded.
Bowsher says the investigation will be turned over to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to determine what caused the collapse. The federal agency will also determine whether any fines will be levied against the construction company building the barn.
