A roof being reconstructed in Myrtle Beach collapsed while construction workers were working on it.

The building is located on Drywall Drive across Coastal Grand Mall in Myrtle Beach, off 17 Bypass.

Officials on scene say only minor injuries were reported.

Carefree Exteriors construction company is doing the work on the building. They say they were working on reconstructing the building after it was burned out.

Neighbors in the area tell NewsChannel 15 it was the site of a warehouse fire that happened back in January. The warehouse had a motorcycle repair shop and a towing company inside.

They said the walls shifted causing the roof collapse.
