Historic New London Church Collapses, Roads Closed

Roads in New London remain closed as officials prepare to demolish the remaining steeples of a 200-year-old church after one collapsed, causing the evacuation of nearby Connecticut College students. The church, owned by Engaging Heaven Church, was a local landmark and its collapse has been described as a serious setback for the city. No one was injured in the collapse, and the cause is still unknown. The church is working on finding an alternative worship location for Sunday, and the mayor will provide an update on the situation.
