Deck collapses at late-night party

Only one injured

A group of Fort Lewis College students had a close call late Friday night when a deck collapsed at a party.

“It was a rather large party,” said Deputy Joey Laventure of the La Plata County Sheriff’s Office. “Most of the injuries were not serious except for one subject with an injured ankle.”

The party took place in the 11000 block of County Road 213. The deck collapsed occurred shortly before 11 p.m.

“There was no underage drinking, and we made sure everyone had a safe ride home.” Laventure said.

While Laventure was not sure, he thought the party was in celebration of FLC’s Homecoming weekend.
