A portion of a wall, floor and parking lot of a 2-story commercial
building collapsed resulting in closure of businesses. Sometime after 8:00 pm, Tuesday and daylight
today, a portion of wall and floor of 14601 Main Street in Upper Marlboro
collapsed. The building, originally
constructed in 1948 has an older bowling alley in the basement. Fortunately no one was injured due to business
being closed when the collapse occurred.
The Fire/EMS Department and the Departments Collapse Team
responded at about 9:30 am. A collapse
perimeter was established, a portion of Main Street was closed and businesses
attached or near the collapse zone were evacuated with utilities terminated.
Building Inspectors from the
County Department of Permits, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) arrived and declared that 14601 and 14603
Main Street were uninhabitable.
The Ledo’s
Restaurant at 14605 Main Street was allowed to re-open.
Officials from DPIE were working on determining
the extent of damage and cause of the collapse.
