Bride/Groom, eight people injured after second-storey balcony collapses during a pre-wedding party

Pre-wedding drinks ended with a night in hospital after a balcony collapsed in Yamba on the NSW North Coast. The bride and groom were injured when the structure fell suddenly.

A 60-year old man has to be airlifted to Lismore hospital but is now in a stable condition.

Two woman aged 44 and 58 were taken to Grafton hospital and a 61-year old man was taken to Maclean hospital – but has been discharged.

A man involved in the accident heard a ‘weird noise’ ten minutes before the balcony collapsed, the Daily Examiner reported.

The man said when everyone moved at once when ‘it started sprinkling’ the structure crashed to the ground.

‘All they did was just move to that particular spot and just collapsed. They just moved, they just dropped,’ he said.

The balcony was not over crowded, according to one of the party guests
