One person is dead and another seriously injured after an internal building collapse at Coda Kitchen and Bar on Maplewood Avenue in Maplewood this morning, sometime after 9 am, CBSLocal.com reports.
The building was under construction. Crews were installing a staircase inside the restaurant into the basement when the stairs and part of the floor gave way:

So sad to hear of this tragic accident. My thoughts and prayers to the crew, the owners and their loved ones.
