MORRISTOWN, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) - Authorities say a construction worker has fallen after a hangar under construction at the Morristown Municipal Airport collapsed.

Morristown police Det. Lt. Stuart Greer told NJ.com that the 35-year-old Toms River man suffered serious injuries to his leg after the fall around 11:15 a.m. Friday.

The man was taken to Morristown Medical Center in stable condition and a 37-year-old man from Little Egg Harbor was treated for minor bruises to his arm.
