Sydney: Several hurt in wall, building collapse"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Two people are in a serious condition after a building collapse in Sydney\u2019s inner city, which sent debris crashing onto nearby vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Part of a building gave way beside a Shell service station on Wattle St, Ultimo about 11am on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>A wall came down on top of some vehicles, a Fire and Rescue NSW spokesman said.<\/p>\n<p>Paramedics assessed seven people at the scene, with two taken to hospital in a serious condition.<\/p>\n<p>Shocking images from the scene show a large section of the building folded inwards as the retaining wall collapsed, with bricks and debris covering the rear half of a Modus Projects ute.<\/p>\n<p>A second Modus Projects ute parked nearby appears to have been hit by a smaller number of bricks.<\/p>\n<p>Modus Projects is an independently owned company that works across facilities maintenance, building, project management and fit-outs.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear whether the injured people are connected to the company.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities have secured the area and the service station has been closed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe service station\u2019s been shut down as a precaution at this stage, and the buildings around have been evacuated,\u201d the spokesman said.<\/p>\n<p>There were no immediate reports of anyone missing, though crews were still working to ensure everybody had been accounted for.<\/p>\n<p>Police and firefighters are working to stabilise the site and are expected to remain there for some time.<\/p>\n<p>More to come<\/p>\n<p>Originally published
