Fatal parking garage collapse in Lower Manhattan leaves multiple injured and trapped.

A parking garage next to a Pace University building in Lower Manhattan partially collapsed, leaving at least one dead and five injured. Six parking garage workers have been pulled from the garage so far, and one worker was trapped on an upper floor but was rescued. The upper levels of the three-story building collapsed around 4:15 p.m., sending cars crashing down onto the levels below. Officials have evacuated the university building that is next to the garage that's collapsed. The building is completely unstable, and FDNY will not send anyone else in until the building is shored up.

Multiple Injuries Reported as Parking Garage Collapses in Lower Manhattan

A parking garage collapse in Lower Manhattan has prompted a major emergency response, with at least three people injured and others possibly trapped. The second floor of the four-story structure at 57 Ann Street collapsed onto the first, and the exterior of the structure is still standing but in danger of collapse. Emergency responders are conducting their operation from the outside of the building due to fears of a further collapse and the possible unsteadiness of the structure. Nearby Pace University has evacuated two buildings and canceled all classes.
