Construction Worker Trapped Under Collapsed Sunset Park Wall

SUNSET PARK, NY — Firefighters are digging through rubble in search of a construction worker in Sunset Park after a wall collapsed — trapping the worker underneath, FDNY said.

Emergency responders rushed to the construction site on 39th Street near Seventh Avenue Wednesday after a 911 call of a wall collapse at 1:33 p.m.

Firefighters are scouring the area for the missing worker, but rain hampered recovery efforts, a FDNY spokesman said.

It remains unclear what caused the wall to collapse.
