NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A parking garage that was being demolished on West 57th Street between 11th and 12th avenues partially collapsed Wednesday, leaving one construction worker with minor injuries, officials said.

Workers digging inside the building around 2:30 p.m. when part of the structure came down, injuring one, according to officials.

“He actually was on the third floor, and when the floors pancaked down and collapsed, he rode the three stories down and walked out of the building. He was very lucky,” Fire Chief Dan Donoghue said.
