CINCINNATI (WXIX) - Several people were injured after a balcony fell about 20 feet in Corryville Friday evening, firefighters said.

The collapse happened about 10 p.m. along the 200 block of Stetson Street near the University of Cincinnati.

According to the Cincinnati Fire Department, 10 people were injured, including one with life-threatening injuries.

District Fire Chief Nicholas Caliguri says that the balcony fell about 20 feet into the pavement below due to the weight of too many people.

Many of the people were students celebrating the passing of an exam, firefighters said.

“Other victims may have self-transported to area hospitals,” Chef Caliguri said.

Chief Caliguri says grief counseling is available through the University of Cincinnati if needed.
