Airmen injured in base accident
Five airmen suffered minor injuries Wednesday afternoon at the Nevada Air National Guard base in Reno after the stand they were working on collapsed, a National Guard spokesman said.
The men, all from the Reno area, were treated at the Washoe Medical Center for cuts and scrapes on their heads, with one man suffering from a mild concussion, spokesman Erick Studenicka said. They were released Wednesday night.
The men were standing on a scaffolding-type stand while working on an aircraft Wednesday afternoon, when the stand collapsed and the men fell about 10 feet to the ground.
"All in all, it turned out to be fairly minor," Studenicka said.
Studenicka said investigators have not established the cause of the collapse.
