A second-story porch separated from the exterior wall of a condominium, sending the five people on the balcony scrambling back inside.
A balcony collapsed at a two-story condominium complex in Mountain View, Calif., shortly after 9 p.m. Wednesday, but all five people on it managed to escape serious injury, authorities said.
The second-story porch separated from the exterior wall of a building in the 50 block of East Middlefield Road before crashing to the ground, according to the Mountain View Fire Department. Several people were on the balcony when it started to fall, but everyone managed to run back inside the condo and were there when firefighters arrived.
The cause of the collapse is under investigation. Officials were not immediately available to comment on whether the building had prior known maintenance issues.
