1 dead, 2 missing after under-construction Philadelphia parking garage partially collapses: Mayor

Key FactsPartial Collapse Hits Philadelphia Parking Garage

Apr 9, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: cbsnews.com

A parking garage under construction at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia partially collapsed, resulting in one fatality and two missing workers.

Emergency crews rescued three workers, but the unstable structure requires a cautious deconstruction for ongoing search efforts.

The collapse was caused by failure of precast concrete segments installed by a subcontractor on site.

Investigations are underway with all permits confirmed valid, and the surrounding area remains closed during rescue and inspection.

We are not, we will not give up on these individuals, and we will not rest until everyone is accounted for from this tragedy.
— Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, during a news conference on the Grays Ferry parking garage collapse
