Two 19-year-old female students from Temple University in Philadelphia were hospitalized after falling from the roof of a 4-story building — where they tried to take a selfie.
According to the WPVI news station, one of the girls is in critical but stable condition. Another victim has an ankle and leg injury, but her life is not in danger.
According to police, the girls were at a party in an off-campus apartment building when they decided to take a photo. At the moment, the incident is being investigated, the names of the victims have not been disclosed. At least one more student witnessed the incident and, according to friends, is «very hard» going through the incident.
“[On the roof] there is almost nothing to prevent the fall. — told the media Arnav Jokhri, who also studies at Temple University — So if you drank and wandered there, it is very easy to fall. «
Despite the coronavirus pandemic and calls for social distancing, students continue to throw parties in the area, much to the dismay of local residents.
“I would like to hope that after what happened, they will at least stop going to the roof. — said one of the neighbors — This happens all the time. «
