One person was seriously injured and 13 people suffered minor
injuries when the ceiling caved in at the Korean Union United
Methodist Church in Rahway, said Rahway Fire Department
Battalion Chief Daryl Rutter.
"They were very, very fortunate. We could have had a bunch of
fatalities," Rutter said.
About 75 people were in the church when the incident occurred at
2:15 p.m. local time, Rutter said.
The cause of the collapse is under investigation, he said.
