NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — One person died after a structure collapsed on top of a person Thursday night during a construction project.

Authorities at the scene confirmed that one person was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in serious condition. The building was a shed or possibly a small suite at one point on the back of the property, authorities said.

The structure's foundation shifted, which collapsed and pinned the person underneath.
