At least 10 people were injured, one critically, when a third-floor balcony at off-campus University of Cincinnati housing collapsed Friday night, officials said. A 10:09 p.m. call reported the collapse; all injured were taken to local hospitals, including seven to University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Most victims are believed to be UC students, and the university was notified but has not commented. The cause remains unclear, though early assessments suggest weight may have contributed. City building inspectors are on scene assessing the collapse, and officials are gathering accounts from bystanders as the investigation continues.
