Video from the scene appeared to show a three-story building with a large section missing. Piles of bricks and other debris could be seen crumbled onto the sidewalk and street. 

Baltimore's police and fire departments responded to secure the scene, along with the Department of Transportation. 

Streets in the surrounding area were closed to vehicles and pedestrians for some time. 

At this point, it's unclear what caused the collapse or what's next for the remainder of the building.
