Building collapses in Boston; dorm evacuated

(NECN: Boston, Mass.) - Boston Police are on the scene of a building collapse in the Back Bay.

It happened at 337 Huntington Avenue, at the corner of Massachusetts Avenue.

A piece of the roof apparently fell off the building while construction crews were working on it.

Northeastern University reportedly owns the building.

About 50 people were evacuated from a Northeastern University dormitory.

There are no reports of injuries, but as you can imagine, it is creating a big mess in this busy area.

Roads are closed, traffic is being rerouted and the incident is impacting both the T and bus routes in the area.
