From Texas-Crews are trying to remove a huge mass of scaffolding that was ripped off the side of a downtown high rise and thrown against a church building across the street by strong, gusty winds last night.
The scaffolding that was on the AT&T building now looks like a ball of intertwined roller coasters about four stories high. It damaged a VIA bus, crushed several cars, overturned a couple of bus benches and damaged St. Mark’s Episcopal Church parish house.
Three people were hurt while running away from the scene of the collapse last night on East Martin Street between Jefferson and Navarro Streets. They suffered minor injuries and did not require hospitalization.
A man who works at a downtown business told KTSA News the winds picked up and then he heard a loud crash.
“I was working just a couple of blocks away and when I heard it, we came out and saw what was going on,” he said. “It was pretty indescribable and I’m thinking my car was underneath it.”
