HARTFORD, Connecticut, Dhu-AlHijjah 09, 1437, September 11, 2016, SPA -- A pair of crowded decks collapsed during a party at an off-campus house near Trinity College in Connecticut, injuring about 30 people, Hartford police said early Sunday, according to AP. Deputy Chief Brian Foley of the Hartford police said no major injuries were reported. Foley said authorities received numerous calls shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday of multiple people hurt at an off-campus house. He said a third-floor deck of a house collapsed onto a second-floor deck, which subsequently fell onto a first-floor deck. He said each deck was crowded with partiers. The injured were sent to five area hospitals, Foley said, with the most serious reported injuries being a broken arm and a head injury. He described those hurt as "walking wounded" and said most were students. --SPA 13:43 LOCAL TIME 10:43 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
