It could be months before state investigators determine why a covered wooden walkway collapsed at an East Village construction site Thursday, sending 15 people to hospitals, a spokesman with the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health said Friday.

Two people – one who suffered a broken back and one a fractured leg – were in critical condition and remained at Scripps Mercy Hospital, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Some of the hospitalized are homeless people who live at St. Vincent de Paul Village across the street from the construction site, said Father Joe Carroll, president of the village.
