The incident occurred in a building dating back to 1800. According to the Bombers de la Generalitat, the traditional rammed earth walls lost stability due to recent heavy rains, leaving the upper floors unsupported.
“"We fear that another part of the facade or the front roof might fall. We are concerned it could collapse forward onto the street."
Local businesses and offices have been ordered to remain closed. One victim was taken to Parc Taulí Hospital with minor injuries after being struck by falling debris while seeking shelter in a nearby shop.
Mayor Marta Farrés stated that there were no prior urban planning complaints regarding the property and confirmed that municipal technicians are working to secure the site.
