Officials Working To Determine Cause Of Roof Collapse At Beauty Supply Store

DETROIT (WWJ) - Crews are working to determine what caused a partial roof collapse at a business near Davison and Rosa Parks.

 

Roof Beauty Sh (3)Bricks from the crumbling walls scattered around the inside of the building and rubble fills the surrounding walkway and alley reports WWJ's Sandra McNeill.

Dakota Sanford was hard at work at Rocky's Car Wash across the street when the roof of the Davison Beauty Supply gave way.

"Sounded like two mac-trucks got into a big accident - that's what I thought it was at first - I guess the roof fell in - I heard the beams gave in - it was kind of loud - sounded like a bomb went off," said Sanford.

Sanford and others went to the building to make sure no one was trapped under the fallen bricks. He said the few people in the store at the time got out unharmed.

Officials from the building department at the site continue investigating --- the front part of the wall and a large part of the side wall missing from the structure.

No report of any injuries - the building has been condemned.
