2 hospitalized after partial collapse at Bronx construction site
A partial collapse at a construction site in the Bronx resulted in two people being hospitalized.
It happened just before 2 p.m. at Willis Avenue between East 146th and East 147th streets.
Two construction workers were taken to the hospital, the Department of Buildings said. One of them was pulled from the collapse, according to the FDNY.
Video from the scene shows fire department personnel at a construction site, and various construction material toppled over. The overall structure, however, appears to be largely intact.
The Department of Buildings said the building is in the process of adding a second story, and the collapse took place when part of the second floor under construction fell into the cellar level.
The investigation is ongoing.
