Dozens hurt after floor collapses at college party

CLEMSON, SC (WWAY/AP) — 30 people were injured late Saturday night when the floor they were dancing on collapsed and fell to the basement during a homecoming party near Clemson University in South Carolina.

Video posted on social media shows a large portion of a floor on the first level of the building caving in as people were dancing, causing dozens to fall through to the basement. Partygoers screamed, and those who didn’t fall stood on portions of the first floor that remained.

News reports cite a Clemson City Police Department news release as saying a call was received about 12:30 a.m. Sunday about the collapse of the floor at an apartment clubhouse.

Officers arrived to find multiple people hurt. No one was trapped. Reports say many were taken to hospitals with injuries but none was considered life-threatening.
