At least 10 people were injured when the wooden balcony of a third-floor apartment collapsed Friday evening in Cincinnati, Ohio, officials said.

Cincinnati Fire Chief Frank McKinley told reporters that the balcony gave way at an apartment complex in the Corryville neighborhood, located just off the campus of the University of Cincinnati.

Chief McKinley said 10 people were rushed to local hospitals, with at least one sustaining life-threatening injuries. The exact conditions of the victims were not immediately provided.

The circumstances leading up to the collapse remain unknown. “From what we’re being told, it was a gathering, many of these individuals were students,” McKinley said. “We don’t have the detailed information of what was actually being celebrated.”

It is also unclear how many people were on the balcony at the time of the collapse. The situation is under investigation, and the university has been notified.
