? A wall collapse in Fanwood trapped three people Tuesday afternoon.
Crews are at the scene to clean up the rubble and investigate the cause of the collapse. Patrice Harris, of the Elizabethtown Gas Company, said a brick wall fell onto the building, which houses the Livingston Wilbor Corporation. That brick wall, according to Harris, was from a building under construction.
One person was able to escape on their own. The other two workers were rescued and are being treated at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. One of the victims has been identified as 67-year-old Gary Wilbor, the owner of the machine shop. The other hospitalized victim has only been identified as a 58-year-old man.
Livingston Wilbor is located at 238 South Avenue.
