A man working on the new safe room at Vilonia High School was injured when close to 3,000 pounds of concrete and other materials fell on him.

Vilonia Fire Chief Keith Hillman says they were called to the site Friday morning.

The worker was taken by helicopter to UAMS with several broken bones, but the Chief says it seems he will be okay.

High school officials decided to add a safe room to the campus after a deadly tornado in April 2011.
