GARDENA, Calif. - Eleven people suffered mostly minor injuries when a roof collapsed Monday at a Los Angeles area casino, raining debris into the lobby area, authorities said.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department received multiple calls following the collapse around 10 a.m. at Larry Flynt’s Lucky Lady Casino in Gardena, agency spokesman Marvin Lim said.
Aerial TV images showed rooftop equipment structures that had partially fallen through the roof. Photos from inside showed the sun streaming through a large hole in the ceiling and the floor littered with ceiling tiles, wires and other rubble.
Ten people reported minor injuries such as bumps and bruises. One person was hospitalized in moderate condition because of a pre-existing condition. Seven people total were taken to hospitals, fire officials said.
