CARROLL GARDENS — Scaffolding at an aboveground F and G train station collapsed Saturday afternoon after a construction truck smashed into the area where the work was taking place, according to officials and reports.

The 1 p.m. collapse left a walkway at the station inaccessible, the FDNY said.

Service on the northbound F and G lines was temporarily suspended, and a speed restrict was in place, the MTA announced.

No injuries were reported, officials said.
