There was a lot going on."Officials say the incident involved the Bayou City Fellowship summer camp visiting from Cypress, Tomball, and Spring Branch. All the teen ages range from 14 to 18.
"With 21 people being triaged in the plank that I saw that fell, one would be led to believe there were a lot of people on that section [of the boardwalk]," said Chief Foreman."We’re going to have engineers go out there, look at the scene, and try to figure out what occurred," said Oyster Creek Police Chief Richard Foreman. "Those will have to come from the incident command people.
A section of an elevated wooden walkway fell several feet, and law enforcement could be seen examining the area. The cause of the incident is still under investigation and an update will be provided as the investigation progresses, authorities say."Please pray for our Students and all affected by the collapse of a deck while attending Dwell in Surfside Beach.
