PARKING GARAGE COLLAPSES
The top level of a parking garage under construction at 9151 E. Panorama Drive in Centennial collapsed and fell five stories the afternoon of Jan 25. A construction worker called 911 at 2:42 p.m. and South Metro Fire Rescue was on scene four minutes later, public information officer Eric Hurst said. “There were no injuries and there is no reason to believe that anybody was trapped,” Hurst said. “All-in-all, it was pretty low-key in the end.” The cause of the collapse was under investigation. The building department from Arapahoe County was on scene, determining what happened and deciding if it was safe for construction workers to continue working. STEPHANIE MASON
