SEDALIA, Mo. (AP) - Inspectors continue to look into what caused a building to collapse in downtown Sedalia.
Sedalia Police Sgt. Kelley Casto says no one was inside the building when the front portion gave way Thursday night.
The K&K Restaurant Fixture Company owns the building. Business owner Brad Kindle said the building was used for storage, and it had not shown signs of damage or stress prior to falling down.
An engineer was at the scene Friday. Mike Valentine, of Kansas City-based Norton & Schmidt Consulting Engineers, says a preliminary assessment of the building will be provided to the city early this week.
He told The Sedalia Democrat that the report will likely recommend the rest of the structure be demolished.
