CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19)-Several workers have been hurt after a concrete collapse at the construction site of the new Cincinnati casino.

The incident happened at the site of the Horseshoe Casino at the corner of Gilbert and Broadway just before 8 a.m. Workers say they were pouring a 60x60 feet bay of concrete when a steel portion of the structure collapsed, causing the concrete to fall about 25 feet.

Cincinnati Fire Chief Richard Braun says the workers basically slid down the concrete as it collapsed. No one was underneath the bay.

Fire officials say 13 workers were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Ten workers were taken to University Hospital - seven by ambulance and three by private transport - according to hospital officials. Two additional victims were taken to Good Samaritan Hospital and another to Bethesda North. 

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19)-A special Cincinnati city council meeting scheduled for Friday to talk about funding for the streetcar has been canceled.  

Council Members Winburn and Smitherman say the meeting was postponed in response to casino collapse. 

According to a spokesperson in Winburn's office, major concerns for the councilman include the cost of utility relocation, right of way costs, and the timeline for the project's construction.  

The concern about utility relocation and upgrade costs associated with the streetcar project stems from a loss of anticipated funding from the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati.  

City Manager Milton Dohoney sent a letter to the county administrator in September [click here to view letter (PDF)] asking for a match in funding from MSD to reach the $6 million  needed to conduct necessary sewer system improvements associated with the streetcar project.
