DENVER (KDVR) — A building that was under construction in Westminster collapsed amid high winds Saturday.

Dispatchers with the Westminster Police Department told FOX31 that the upper areas of the site on 92nd Avenue and Fenton Street had collapsed inward.

Data: Fastest wind gusts reported across Colorado this weekend

WPD confirmed that the collapse was related to high wind, and some streets were closed in the area due to flying debris.

Several roads were closed for hours, with 91st Place remaining closed as of Sunday morning. It was unknown when it would reopen.

No construction crews were on site or working when it collapsed, and the dispatcher said a passerby notified police of the collapse.
