PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Authorities say no injuries have been reported following the partial collapse of a building near Temple University in north Philadelphia.
Police said the front of the structure on north 18th Street near Page Street gave way just before 11 a.m. Tuesday.
City workers had reportedly been working at the site to convert the property for use as student housing for the university.
Police said an adjacent building was evacuated after it also was damaged by the collapse.
Utility crews were sent to the scene due to downed power lines.
