Two hospitalized after getting trapped in rowhome collapse

Two workers were injured this morning when a North Philadelphia rowhome collapsed, temporarily trapping them inside.

The men, ages 41 and 51, are at Temple University Hospital for treatment after the 8:58 a.m. incident on 9th Street near Boston Avenue, fire department spokesman Chief William Dell said. Firefighters had to extricate them after the building collapsed for an unknown reason. City building inspectors are examining the scene now.
