BJ’s roof collapse traps shoppers inside New Jersey store as rescue crews search damaged building

A partial roof collapse at a BJ's Wholesale Club in Ocean Township, New Jersey, trapped shoppers, with two people partially entrapped in debris. Rescue crews searched the building where 27 people were present. Meanwhile, thunderstorms and flooding in Camden led to phone service outages and the closure of roads, including the I-676/Benjamin Franklin Bridge. These severe weather conditions coincided with the structural failure at the retail location, necessitating emergency response efforts in the area.
