I just saw this on MSNBC. It's the deck between Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. I always park on that deck when I go to SouthPark. So far reports say one person has life threatening injuries.  |

So sad, my thoughts and prayers are with the victims.
I went to MSN to see if there was a story and ironically there was a parking garage collapse in Jacksonville, FL today as well!

WCNC (channel 6) is confirming the fatality. An unconfirmed witness said that the diver may have had a heart attack. Th car accelerated, hit the guardrail and then the deck collapsed.

That is what WLNK is reporting. The witness said they saw the victim was in distress, went to aid them and the car took off and hit the wall. From the pics I was wondering how the front of the car sustained so much damage. |
