NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A 43-year-old worker was killed when a backyard shed collapsed on him in Brooklyn on Thursday morning, officials said.

It happened at about 9 a.m. at a shed at 3223 Quentin Rd. in Marine Park.

The shed, attached to a two-story mixed-use building, partially collapsed on the worker as he made repairs and installed refrigeration to under-construction restaurant T Fusion Steakhouse on the first floor.
