HOUSTON (AP) — A multilevel Houston parking garage that was being demolished instead collapsed and scattered debris across the site and on top of an excavator.

Authorities say a worker operating the heavy equipment escaped harm Tuesday when several decks of what was left of the garage tumbled down.

The accident happened as crews worked to tear down the parking structure at Corporate Plaza.

Crews will now work to clear the debris from what used to be the parking garage.
