A badly injured construction worker pulled from the rubble of a collapsed parking garage at Miami-Dade College early Thursday has died, police said, raising the death toll to three.
Miami fire and rescue crews rescued the construction worker around 1 a.m. Thursday at the Miami-Dade College in Doral, Fla.,Miami fire officials said. But in order to get the man out, medics had to amputate both of his legs above the knees, authorities said. Another trapped worker who had been freed was in critical condition.
Rescue workers continued Thursday to search for the last person believed to have been in the structure when it collapsed.
Eight people were hospitalized at Miami-area hospitals after the Wednesday collapse, which killed three workers, according to a statement from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
