NEW YORK (AP) – Authorities say a section of the facade inside an underpass of the Brooklyn Bridge has collapsed, injuring five people.
It happened just before 8 p.m. Wednesday in Brooklyn during a passing thunder shower.
A fire department spokesman says the collapse involved a roughly 25-foot wide section of the facade.
All of the injuries were minor. It wasn’t immediately known who was hurt.
Department of Buildings inspectors are investigating.
