Crumbling Chinatown garage injures one, damages car, shuts streets

The Boston Fire Department reports an eight-story garage at 40 Beach St. dropped some brick and concrete around 4 p.m., leading city officials to shut and evacuate it and close down Beach and Harrison Avenue.

The department reports one person suffered a minor leg injury. One car was damaged and the window of a neighboring bank was cracked by falling concrete. Cars parked in the garage were trapped as engineers evaluated the building to make sure nothing worse was happening with it.
