NEW CASTLE, Ind. — Authorities have closed a street in New Castle after a downtown building's roof collapsed beneath the weight of ice and snow.

Firefighters found the roof collapsed. No injuries were reported. The building was unoccupied at the time.
Authorities closed Broad Street between 14th and 15th Streets as a precaution.
