Railing Collapse Hurts Four In Calumet Park

A railing collapsed at a Calumet Park apartment building last night, injuring four. When responders arrived on the scene, two of the four were unconscious. Calumet Park Fire Chief Tom Battistella said there were possibly up to 10 people on the stairwell when the railing collapsed:

"When we arrived there were about 10 people on the stairwell. It looks like they fell anywhere from 10 to 15 feet," Battistella said. " Four were transported to Metro South in Blue Island and Advocate Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn. Seven people refused treatment. I don't know their conditions."
