Balcony Collapses Near Rio in Gaithersburg

Earlier this evening a balcony collapsed at an apartment near Rio Lakefront, at the Sawyer Flats complex (9802 Mahogany Dr).

One adult worker/handyman was hurt in the fall with a traumatic injury. Several families have been displaced after a building inspector posted ‘unsafe to occupy’ signs on the apartments.
