Investigators believe the building was at over capacity before the floor collapsed, according to the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal’s Office.
Multiple people were injured after a floor collapsed at a wedding venue in eastern New Hampshire, sending nearly 70 people plunging into the building's basement, authorities said.
The incident occurred on Saturday, March 21, as almost 150 guests attended a wedding ceremony at the Preserve at Chocorua in Tamworth, according to a joint news release from the Tamworth Fire/Rescue Department and the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal’s Office. Local fire crews responded to the scene at around 4:33 p.m local time after receiving reports that a floor had collapsed during a wedding.
"Callers reported that more than 100 people were on the floor when it collapsed into the basement, and multiple people were trapped under beams as well as farming equipment," authorities said in the news release.
Six adults were transported to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, including four who have since been released, according to authorities. Multiple other guests were treated at the scene.
