Updated 6/28/2021 7:03 PM Readily apparent deterioration is considered the cause of a balcony collapse in Schaumburg that sent a group of teens tumbling about 12 feet to the ground as they posed for a birthday party photo early Sunday evening. Only one person out of about 10 involved required immediate transport to a hospital after the collapse of the second-story deck at a townhouse on the 1000 block of Colony Lake Drive, but others sought treatment later for minor injuries.
