Deck collapses at Epping party, 3 hurt
November 1, 2008
Three Epping High School students were injured last night when a wooden deck collapsed during a Halloween party hosted by their friend.
The deck gave way just before 8 p.m. at a condominium at 23 Plumer Court.
Homeowner Tammi Vasseur said six teenagers were standing on the deck at the time of the collapse. The deck, which jutted out over the driveway from the side of the condominium, fell about 12 feet and landed on top of a teenage girl who was standing under it. Witnesses said the girl’s boyfriend quickly pulled her out from beneath the deck and rushed her to the hospital.
Connor Patton, 16, said it appeared she suffered a leg injury. Patton was standing outside in the driveway, about five feet from the deck, when he heard a noise.
