Part of a building under construction collapsed north of Colborne on Saturday, August 29, 2020.

High winds are believed to be a major factor when a number of trusses collapsed at the large building located on Telephone Road just east of County Road 25, north of Highway 401.

A number of curious onlookers stopped on County Road 25 to look over the damage to the building.
