Two Dozen Evacuated After
S.I. Wall Collapses

NEW YORK (1010
WINS)  -- A wall collapse on Staten Island
has forced 22 residents from five homes and is creating
traffic problems for drivers. Nearly two dozen people
were evacuated after the 75-foot retaining wall
collapsed around midnight on Todt Hill.

No one
was injured when the concrete wall that supports the
hill between Richmond Road and Overlook Avenue -- gave
way.

Crews worked to clean up the mess, but
officials were concerned that a large house right above
the retaining wall might fall onto the homes
below.

It's not clear what caused the collapse,
though some think the four inches of rain that fell on
the area in the last 24 hours cold have weakened the
wall.

The collapse forced the closure of
Richmond Road between Atlantic and Newberry avenues. The
road reopened at around 2 p.m.

KeySpan Energy
shut off the gas to the evacuated homes, and Buildings
Department officials are assessing the damage.
