Porch Collapse Injures Students Of Trinity College, Connecticut

Twenty-eight Trinity College students were taken to hospitals after the back porches on a college-owned house on Broad Street collapsed, hurling students and porch decks to the ground. One moment it was a typical college party hosted by Kappa Sigma Fraternity members at 1713-15 Broad St. It was the first weekend back at school for returning students and friends were getting reacquainted. Then about 11:15 p.m. Saturday came the sound of cracking wood and a second later the screams and cries of the injured.
