A 41-year-old Taunton man was killed and two other people were injured in an apparent construction accident Thursday at a dorm under construction at the MIT campus in Cambridge, officials said.

Cambridge police and firefighters responding to a reported construction accident at 120 Vassar St. found three injured workers in need of medical treatment, according to Middlesex District Attorney Marian T. Ryan.

A preliminary investigation indicates the three men were working on the lower floor of the building when debris from higher floors collapsed on top of them.

All three were taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where the Taunton man, Anthony Costa, Jr., a Labor Foreman was pronounced dead.

The other two men were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
