Monday afternoon, roof trusses collapsed in a building under construction in the Town of Larwence at the intersection of Mid Valley Drive and Eisenhower Road. Crews were called to the site in the Town of Lawrence around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. Fire Chief Kurt Minten says the building trusses gave way and collapsed while workers were building a strip mall.
