3-story parking garage partially collapses in NJ


HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) — A glass canopy fell off of a high-rise condominium building and onto a parking garage two stories below on Friday morning and partially flattened the structure, authorities said.

Officials are trying to assess the damage and whether anyone was hurt in the collapse, Hackensack Fire Capt. Thomas Salsedo said. Emergency officials are looking into reports that two people may be missing.

Firefighters have yet to go into the garage because they are concerned about the possibility of another collapse, Fire Lt. Stephen Lindner said early Friday afternoon.

The garage serves an adjacent high-rise condominium tower.
