Waggener High School - 9.10.25

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — At least six students and players were injured after a bleacher railing collapsed during a sporting event at a Louisville high school Thursday night. 

According to St. Matthews Police Chief Barry Wilkerson, the collapse happened after multiple students were leaning on the railing, celebrating the end of the soccer game where St. X won 1-0 over Trinity.

Wilkerson said there might be more injuries, as parents could have transported the students themselves. 

A Jefferson County Public Schools spokesperson said they don't know the extent of injuries.
