Three people suffered minor injuries after scaffolding and part of a brick exterior wall collapsed onto a street in Aurora.
Firefighters responded to the 100 block of East Galena Boulevard after the partial building collapse, officials said. The falling debris damaged nearby cars.
Reports gave conflicting times for the collapse, with one report describing it as happening overnight and a separate traffic report describing it as occurring Thursday morning.
The city closed Route 25, also known as Broadway, between Downer Place and New York Street following the collapse, according to a traffic report.
No information on the cause of the collapse or the building’s ownership was available. The extent of the three injuries was not disclosed.
