BROOKLYN, N.Y. (WABC) -- A wall just outside of an Brooklyn industrial yard, a private business in the Gowanus section.

Just before 6:30 a.m. Tuesday, a truck appears to have been exiting the industrial yard when the rear of the truck struck a roll-down gate and the outside wall. About 20 feet of the wall collapsed onto a vehicle parked outside.

The yard, which is part of a private business, is on 12th Street.

One person was treated for minor injuries.

The cause of the wall collapse is under investigation.
