Roof Collapses at Drugstore

A roof collapsed in a Coronado drugstore on Friday morning.

Police said the Rite Aid at 836 Orange Ave. was temporarily close because the ceiling fell on half the store aisles.

Officials said the roof collapsed because of a leak in the roof, making the ceiling heavy. The store flooded as a result.

Crews are working to fix the problem and the store has reopened, with a portion of it covered in plastic.
