Emergency officials quickly cleared out the mall and closed surrounding roads
after the collapse triggered a gas leak. Mayor Rick Hamilton declared a
state of emergency.
Ontario Provincial Police said 22 people were taken to hospital but none were
seriously hurt.
Joe Drazil, a Zellers store employee, said several cars appeared to have
fallen through the gaping hole near some escalators.
“You can see the roof with the cars hanging inside,” he said. “Everybody
was cleared from the whole mall. After that, there was numerous police and
emergency vehicles coming from all over.”
