1 Injured In Harvard Heights Apartment Collapse

All Residents Accounted For, Building Scheduled To Be Razed

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Officials say at least one person suffered minor injuries and several families were displaced when a section of a Harvard Heights apartment building collapsed. 

Three people were briefly trapped when a 35-by-20 foot section of the two-story, four-unit building in Koreatown collapsed shortly before 9 p.m. Sunday night, LAFD spokeswoman D'Lisa Davies said.
 
Davies says all three people were removed by firefighters. A
36-year-old woman who was standing on the collapsed section had cuts to the head and was taken to a hospital. A 20-year-old man and an unidentified third person who were pulled out did not want to be taken to a hospital.

Davies says the building's four apartments and eight more from a neighboring building were evacuated. She says all the occupants have accounted for.

The building was scheduled to be razed.
