One man was killed and another injured on Thursday after a collapse at a Queens demolition site, authorities said.

The Fire Department of New York said it happened around 11:45 a.m at the site on 94th Avenue in the Jamaica section of Queens.

One man was killed and another man was hospitalized in serious condition, the FDNY said.

The New York Police Department said the two men were on the second floor when a wall collapsed. Their identities have not been released.

The city Department of Buildings was investigating, and said a stop work order on the site had been issued on the site. The department said it had first been permitted for demolition at the end of November.
