“7 hospitalized after roof collapses over pool at Idaho hot springs”

At least seven people were injured when a roof over a pool at a hot springs in Idaho collapsed, police said.

The roof collapsed at the privately-owned Givens Hot Springs around 1:45 p.m. on Saturday while multiple patrons were in the geothermal pool, the Owyhee County Sheriff’s Office said.

Six patients were transported to local hospitals via ambulance while at least one other person was taken by private vehicle, according to police. 

The patients — who ranged from ages 9 to 70 —  suffered injuries to the head, shoulder, extremities and lacerations. They were all in stable condition and conscious when they were taken to the hospital, cops said.

Police said that the cause of the roof collapse is not known, however it “appears to be structural,” as there was no snow in the area at the time.
