Part of a brick wall collapsed from a downtown Chattanooga building on Thursday morning, crushing one car.
The third-floor wall was part of a construction site at 27 West Main Street, a release from the Chattanooga Fire Department said.
The car parked on the street directly beneath the wall was destroyed, according to the department. Two other cars, parked on either side, were also damaged. There were three people inside one of the cars, but no one was injured by the collapse, the release said.
The collapse came as storms rolled through Chattanooga on Thursday, department spokesperson Lindsey Rogers said in a text.
