Walkway collapses, injuring 17 in Tulsa
Three of the 17 persons were admitted to area hospitals. They suffered back injuries. Others taken to hospitals were released after being treated for cuts and bruises.
The game had just been stopped in the second inning because of a rain and hail storm. Fans from the lower-level reserve and box seats were moving to a covered area when about 25 persons crowded onto a wooden walkway behind some seats.
THE STRUCTURE collapsed, and some of the fans fell as far as 30 feet onto concrete. Others hit grass while remains of the 18-foot section fell around them.
The baseball park, at the county fairgrounds, is a large game. The game takes place in the season.
John Elsner, manager of the fairgrounds,
told a news conference that "considerable maintenance work" had been done on the stands in the past two months.
he said a "full and through inspection"
he was under way because of the
program.
BILL ROLLINGS, president of the new TILLA Driller baseball club, said, "We probably had six to 10 times as many people on that section as there normally would be."
Fans standing on the walkway were "fumelled down like in a chute" with boards and metal bleacher chairs, according to an online article. A grand stand when the collapse occurred.
"The ones that came down on top scrambled off immediately. We couldn't tell how bad the first ones through were hurt," he said.
Young and Jack Meyers, Okmulegne physician, who also was beneath the grandstand, said they rushed to administer first aid.
"I DIDN'T find anybody whose life was endangered. I just don't see how more
didn't come through the opening," Myers said.
The victims, he said, included an elderly woman and several young boys, all of whom seemed more dazed than seated. A man in a suit moved the Drillers out of the stadium this season
Rollings said he had no plans to move the Rollers out of the stadium this season due to a lack of funds.
"I've been wishing I'd fallen out of the bleachers and landed right on my head rather than to have it happen to any of these people here," he said.
ATTENDANCE at the game was estimated at 5,000. It was the first contest between two major league clubs in Tulsa since 1970.
The Drillers is a Class AA team in the Texas League, which was organized several months ago under the Texas Rangers organization.
The park previously was the home field of the American Association Tulsa Oilers, who moved to New Orleans after the end of last season.
