Dozens injured after decks collapse at Connecticut house party
Between 30 and 40 people were injured late Saturday after two decks collapsed on top of a third during a party at a house near Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut.
Hartford Police Department Deputy Chief Brian Foley posted on his Twitter feed that a third-floor deck of a house about two-tenths of a mile from the Trinity campus collapsed onto a second-floor deck, which subsequently fell onto a first-floor deck.
Trinity College is a liberal arts school in Hartford with about 2,200 students. Founded in 1823, it's the second-oldest college in Connecticut after Yale.
