A mishap at the Roberts Stadium demolition site results in the steel frame coming down several hours ahead of schedule.
Work to tear down the building has been going at a swift pace for the past several weeks. On Friday afternoon, crews were scheduled to bring down the remaining portion of the steel frame. However, construction workers tell Eyewitness News a "mishap" caused it to collapse early.
Crews were apparently cutting the I-beams, when the structure collapsed, unexpectedly. Witnesses say they saw workers running away as the frame came down, but there are no reports of injuries.
