Authorities say heavy, wet snow caused the roof to come down on a sporting complex in New York’s Rockland County.
No one was injured in the collapse at the West Rock Indoor Sports and Entertainment Complex in Nanuet Thursday night.
Two workers inside escaped before the roof came down around 9:20 p.m.
Clarkstown fire inspector Harold Straut tells the Journal News that the collapsed roof struck and ignited a gas main.
Volunteer firefighters from Nanuet and West Nyack battled heavy, freezing rain and icy conditions before putting out the flames around 9:50 p.m.
A similar collapse around the same time occurred at the Cascata Restaurant in Yonkers. No injuries were reported.
