The roof of a New Jersey grocery store partially caved in Saturday afternoon as a historic winter storm pummeled the region.
First responders rushed to the Trader Joeβs grocery store in Westfield, NJ after the storeβs walls bowed and the roof collapsed. No injuries were reported.
βWe had a major roof collapse when we arrived on scene,β Westfield Fire Department Battalion Chief Jim Brennan said at the scene.
The historic winter storm hitting the region now likely caused the collapse, authorities said.
βAs it stands now it looks like itβs weather-related,β Battalion Chief Brennan said.
About a foot of snow had fallen on Westfield at the time of the collapse.
