LYNCHBURG, Va.—
A vacant six-story warehouse located along the 600 block of Dunbar Drive collapsed on Wednesday.
Because of the collapse, Dunbar Drive between Federal and Twelfth Streets has been temporarily closed. Detours have been put in place, so school buses may be rerouted.
Emergency crews and an inspection staff are inspecting the damage and have decided the entire building will have to be taken down.
