She said the area around the collapse filled with dust and after she realised that a portion of the ceiling had given way, she and the other people in the area tried to see if anyone was injured.
She confirmed one shopper was injured and that the woman looked as though she was in her 20s. She said paramedics quickly removed her from the scene on a stretcher. She believed the injured woman was transported to a local hospital.
She said there were not many people in the vicinity of where the ceiling collapsed at the time of the incident. She said after the incident many people rushed to the scene to see what had happened and to assist. The witness further speculated that the collapse may have been caused by renovations that are underway in the mall but this has not yet been confirmed.
