Fire officials say 14 people have been hurt in a scaffold collapse in downtown San Diego.
Fire spokesman Daniel Calderon says two of the people were critically injured in the collapse over a walkway at a construction site Thursday afternoon.
Ambulances and firetrucks converged on the scene.
The collapse occurred in downtown's East Village about a half-mile east of Petco Park, the scene of numerous construction and redevelopment projects.
Calderon says investigators at the scene did not know what caused the collapse.
