Corner of Sydney Rd and Albion St, Brunswick Closed

Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
Not sure what's happened, but the intersection of Sydney Rd and Albion St in Brunswick is currently closed off with police barricades. Police and Fire in attendance. As well as two news crews and about a zillion bystanders. It looks like a building has collapsed, it's taken out the #19 southbound tramstop.

It was the medical centre, which the media is reporting as being unused, but I'm sure it was still being used at least a couple of weeks ago.

Update: Turns out the medical centre was open. Thankfully people realised the building was at risk and left before the collapsed, so no one was injured. Article in The Age.
