IRON MOUNTAIN -- A construction accident at Dickinson County Hospital left two workers injured.

The workers were putting up trusses when a big gust of wind blew one over and created a domino effect, making all of them collapse.
    
Tuesday was picked to put the trusses in place because they thought the winds would be light.
    
The workers tried to get out of the way but were caught under the falling debris.  They escaped with only bumps and bruises.
    
The hospital is undergoing a $789,500 renovation project.
