12 injured after apartment floor collapses near Pa. university, police say

A dozen people were injured after the second floor of an apartment building collapsed late Saturday in west central Pennsylvania, just over a mile from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, according to state police.

Injuries “ranged from minor to serious” following the collapse at the Elm by Traverse Commons apartment complex in White Township, in Indiana County, about 66 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, according to Trooper First Class Clifford Greenfield, public information officer for the Pennsylvania State Police. The complex advertises its apartments as off-campus housing for students of the nearby university, although it’s not known at this time if any of the injured were students.
