Stage full of high school students collapsed in Indiana

More than a dozen people were injured — at least one critically — when a stage full of high school students collapsed during a musical performance in Indiana, informs UaPost.

Hospital system St. Vincent Health said a total of 12 students were being treated at its hospitals in Carmel and Indianapolis. Five patients over the age of 18 are in good condition, but the conditions of the eight minors were not being released because of privacy regulations, a spokesperson said.

Six students were transported by ambulance to area hospitals, the Westfield Fire Department said.

Westfield Mayor Andy Cook said the fire marshal was on the scene and an investigation into why the stage collapsed is underway.
