Two plumbers have been hospitalized after falling into the basement of a Morris Heights home on Tuesday.

Emergency crews say the workers were on the first floor of a six-story apartment building on Undercliff Avenue when the ground under them collapsed.

Emergency crews say the incident happened around 1:30 p.m.

Tenant Deyanira Tavarez tried to communicate with them after the accident. She said this was supposed to be a routine job that went terribly wrong.

"They looked like they were unconscious because I told them that everything was OK and I am going call the super, but he didn't answer me," said Tavarez.

Cellphone video captured the moments after it happened. Tenants told <strong>News 12</strong> that they were replacing a bathtub.

The FDNY carried the victims away on stretchers. <strong>News 12</strong> is told they were taken to Saint Barnabas Hospital with serious injuries, but are expected to be OK.

Another check of that hyperlocal forecast. Definitely not as cold out there today and we have the sunshine too. So overall, this is just about as good as it gets for us. Not a bad way to close off the month, but we start off December with more clouds and a chance for a shower in the evening. It's mostly light rain, but it'll probably be around through the whole evening commute. Then the weekend comes with cloudy skies kind of spritzes and a little bit of drizzle. But as you see, temperatures have been kind of hovering close to 50 this afternoon and then we drop into the mid forties for any evening plans. So 7 p.m. dinner time looks cool but not cold. We're chilly in the morning time on Friday, a few spots close to freezing, but I'm expecting us to stay above it. And then Friday afternoon, temperatures are mostly in the mid forties with high temperatures close to 50 but it won't feel as warm tomorrow. And that's because we have cloudy skies. Here's a look at four o'clock seeing very light showers pass through the city and that will continue kind of on and off for us here in the Bronx at five o'clock, still some light showers tomorrow and then closing off Friday evening with just mainly cloudy skies. Those clouds just are so stubborn. Best chance of seeing the sun is gonna be on Saturday, but there's not much of it expect clouds to build overnight. Saturday with a few showers. If you have late Saturday evening plans, I'm talking after dinner time, Sunday, rain pretty much expected at some point in the afternoon or evening. Definitely not looking like a total wash at this point. But the later you get in the day, the better bahrain risk gets. So you need the umbrella there. Probably gonna need it for Monday morning too. That's still a few days out. But at least temperatures still look quite mild there and we're expecting high temperatures to stay only in the mid forties from the middle of next week. It's gonna be a little cool.
