WESTFIELD, Ind. (AP) – More than a dozen people were injured after a stage filled with students collapsed during a theater performance at a central Indiana high school, authorities said Thursday night.
Capt. Charles Hollowell of the Westfield Police Department said authorities didn’t have an exact number of injuries but were certain more than 12 were hurt. At least one person was critically injured after the stage gave way at Westfield High School, he said.
Hollowell did not have any further information about that person’s injuries.
No fatalities were reported.
A large group of students were on the stage during the grand finale of “American Pie” when the floor of the stage collapsed, Hollowell said.
