NORWALK

A Corwin Street resident's above-ground pool collapsed Saturday afternoon, flooding the man's yard and damaging nearby property.

Michael Hoffman told Norwalk police he discovered the damaged after checking on a loud noise, which sounded like a car crash.

The rivets on the pool's side wall may have rusted and buckled under the weight of the water, a Norwalk police report said. The force of the gushing water damaged a privacy fence at 31 Corwin Street and also moved a storage shed onto the sidewalks on Gray Street. There was no one in the pool when it collapsed, and no one was reported injured.
