One person seriously injured as building collapses in NYC.
A building under demolition partially collapsed yesterday on the West Side of Manhattan, injuring a construction worker.
It happened at about 2:35 p.m. at a 4-story garage at 622 West 57th Street, between 11th and 12th Avenues.
Fire department spokesman Brian Norton says the worker rode down the collapse Wednesday afternoon by standing on scaffolding or part of the three-story midtown Manhattan building as it crumbled.
Norton says the worker has been hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. He says all other workers are accounted for.
Scaffolding on the side of the building collapsed onto the sidewalk near two school buses.
