“It appears the roof was overloaded with students,” Martin said, with estimates ranging from 15 to 45 people on a rooftop “that was not designed to have anybody on it, and it gave way.”
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Part of a house collapsed and 14 people were injured near The Ohio State University Saturday evening when people climbed onto a porch roof, authorities said.
“The few people that were trapped, I believe, were probably unpinned,” Martin said. “It was like their leg was caught under some of the structure and some of the students lifted that off the students. So everybody was kind of out.” , reported that the roof was secured to the two-story brick house with boards and nails and that some students were caught under the roof after its collapse, but other students quickly freed them.
The university is in the midst of final exams, with the 2023 spring commencement planned for next weekend, May 7.
