Several Fall As Deck Collapses; Man Underneath Critically Injured

October 21, 2012

One person was critically injured when a deck with several people on it collapsed onto him Saturday afternoon in Molino.

The accident happened  about 4 p.m. in a wooded area in the 1400 block Evers Haven, just off Schaag Road.  An unknown number of people were on the free-standing deck above a storage area when it collapsed about 20 feet onto the stored items and the man below, according to first responders.

The 40-year old man was airlifted to a Pensacola hospital as a “trauma alert” with multiple injuries.

None of the persons on the deck suffered serious injuries. Further details have not been released.
