Authorities in Philadelphia reported multiple people trapped after a parking garage collapsed in the city’s Grays Ferry neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon.

Two construction workers were reportedly trapped under rubble following the collapse of the structure they were working on. A third construction worker was found but later pronounced dead.

One person has died and at least two others remain missing, according to police. Emergency crews are searching for the missing individuals, while another construction worker was rushed to a hospital and subsequently passed away.

The partial collapse occurred in a seven-floor parking garage under construction located at 3000 Grays Ferry Avenue. The incident happened on the first floor of the building and was reported to authorities shortly after 2 p.m.

Residents had previously protested the construction project earlier this year, expressing concerns about increased traffic congestion, environmental harm, and negative impacts on public health.

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia has held more than 20 community meetings with Grays Ferry residents. The hospital stated that these efforts have led to several community-requested initiatives, including a five-year grant for local nonprofits, financial contributions to the D. Finnegan Recreation Center, health education workshops, support for local employment, alternate parking options for neighbors on Titan Street, and exploration of expanded pediatric clinical services in the area.
