PARIS (AP) – A four-storey building collapsed yesterday in Lille, France but no deaths were reported so far thanks to a resident’s advance warning, French authorities said. Firefighters said they rescued one person from the rubble with light injuries.
The search for others possibly trapped in the rubble continued before an investigation begins into why the building collapsed.
The building in the centre of the city was evacuated before dawn after a man coming back home about 3am after a night out saw cracks appearing in the structure and reported the issue to emergency services, the Lille prefecture said.
