A wooden walkway collapsed at Doubling Point Lighthouse in Arrowsic, Maine on Saturday afternoon, sending 11 people tumbling eight to ten feet down onto mudflats below.
Eleven people were hurt when a walkway collapsed, sending people tumbling into mudflats below during an annual event that encourages tours of Maine's beloved lighthouses.
Five of the 11 injured people were taken to hospitals, said Bath Fire Department Deputy Chief Chris Cummings. The website of Friends of Doubling Point Light directed visitors to a message that said the lighthouse was “closed to visitors until further notice” on Sunday. McLean said the group has been working with local authorities in the aftermath of the collapse.
