January 4, 2009 Ceiling collapses at bar in South Boston

(NECN) - Eight people were hurt when part of a ceiling collapsed at a bar in South Boston.

Firefighters tell the Boston Globe two 10-by-10-foot wooden panels fell from the ceiling just before 10 last night at the Franklin - Southie on Dorchester Avenue.

Some patrons complained of head, neck, and shoulder injuries.

Investigators say the accident appears to be installation related.

The bar and restaurant opened in November.
