LEXINGTON, Ky. — Emergency crews reported to the scene of a parking deck collapse in downtown Lexington early Thursday morning.

Officials said the incident occurred just after 5 a.m. at 200 Vine St. The collapse was due to heavy snow on the structure.

No injuries were reported and no cars were damaged.

Owner Dudley Webb said the structure — built in the early 1970s and renovated about two years ago — collapsed after a beam broke.

He said the top deck will need to be completely redone.

"We will make this right," Webb said.

The Webb Companies released the following statement Thursday afternoon on the structure collapse:
