According to reports, a 69-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were hospitalized for unknown injuries after a two-story building fell.
As of 12 am ET, it was still unclear if anyone else was trapped in the collapse, ABC6 reported.
Authorities are still working to determine what caused the building to crumble.
The collapse came after remnants of Tropical Storm Ida battered the Northeast, causing flash flooding, power outages and tornado reports across multiple states – including Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and New York.
In images shared by FOX 29, numerous firefighters and other emergency personnel could be seen the scene late Thursday.
