MILWAUKEE — A parking structure at the Empire Building apartment complex in Milwaukee collapsed Wednesday night, leaving vehicles damaged and stuck.
Residents at the apartment tell TMJ4 this happened in the early evening.
I heard a loud metal rattling noise," said Nicholas Haagan, an Empire Building resident. "We walk up, and there’s just a sinkhole in the garage with two cars in it, a couple of people were pulled out and such, but it was just chaotic really."

Another resident told TMJ4 bystanders helped a person out of the car that was in the car.
"He was already out of the hole by the time I had gotten out of there, but I was hearing that a couple of people drove by and ended up helping him out of the hole," said Jevante Scally.
A TMJ4 crew at the scene described seeing four emergency vehicles, including a structural collapse support unit vehicle.
It does not appear that the building was evacuated, as people could be seen entering and exiting.
