Yonkers Rooftop Parking Lot Collapses Under Bobcat

Five people were injured in a construction accident in Yonkers Wednesday. Authorities say a Bobcat machine fell through the roof of the National Wholesale Liquidators store on Central Park Avenue, with the Yonkers Fire Department calling it a "major roof collapse." "We just looked up, and the whole roof was collapsing on top of the people," customer Alejandro Tellez said. There was a huge hole nearly 30 feet by 40 feet, and with dozens of people inside at the time of the accident, officials say it’s amazing more people weren’t seriously hurt. "It was panic," one customer said. "Everybody was screaming."
