Balcony collapse injures family having cookout

CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — A Clayton County family says they were having a cookout when the balcony they were standing on suddenly collapsed.

Denitizia Sadler was hosting her parents from out of town for a family barbecue. What started out as delightful, turned dangerous, when the balcony suddenly broke up.

"I was screaming out 'Help', you know," Sadler said.

Paramedics transported the victims to local hospitals. Sadler showed Channel 2's Rikki Klaus her second-degree burns. Her mother says she can't walk because she's in excruciating pain.

Sadler says she's waiting for a building inspector to determine the cause of the accident.

Family members tell Klaus Sadler's mother will undergo therapy in the hope that she can walk again soon.
