Multiple families throughout the region are recovering after heavy snow caused part of their homes to collapse Tuesday.
Crews responded to a home in Hatboro, Montgomery County where a carport caved in around 3 p.m., according to officials.
An 83-year-old man was trapped uner the roof for about 20 minutes before he was rescued, according to investigators. He was taken to Abington Hospital though his injuries don't appear to be life-threatening.
Investigators say that the man likely survived because of the car that was still inside the carport. The car helped brace the roof from falling all the way down, according to officials. It was an early birthday gift for the man who will turn 84-years-old on Wednesday.
Crews also evacuated several families from the 700 block of Seneca Street in Fountain Hill, Lehigh County after three porch roofs collapsed under the weight of the snow, according to reports.
The debris blocked the residents inside their homes, but officials say no one was injured.
