A two-level parking garage collapsed Thursday afternoon at UHS Wilson Medical Center in Johnson City, N.Y., leaving nearly two dozen vehicles trapped in the rubble, according to an article on the PressConnects website. No one died in the collapse, officials said.

Underground office space beneath the garage was closed.
