A worker was transported in grave condition to a nearby hospital Thursday after being trapped under piles of debris following a building collapse in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood, Chicago fire officials said.
According to tweet around 11:15 a.m. from Chicago fire officials, a building had collapsed in the 700 block of East Oakwood Boulevard.
Photos from the scene show large amounts of bricks, wooden planks, concrete blocks and other building rubble and debris piled high and strewn across the ground as Chicago fire officials appear to search for trapped individuals.
Video from the scene show Chicago fire officials quickly working to rescue a person -- a worker, who authorities had previously said unaccounted for -- who appeared to be trapped deep under debris.
After pulling the worker out, live SKY5 video from the scene showed Chicago fire officials draping a black sheet over a gurney as they rolled it into an ambulance.
