Meerah Powell / OPB One student died and two others were injured when a brick column collapsed at Lewis & Clark College in Southwest Portland Monday night. Portland Fire & Rescue said witnesses confirmed there were six people in three hammocks attached to several freestanding columns when one of the columns collapsed inward. It happened around 8pm No one was pinned under the pole at the scene, but there were multiple injuries, according to PF&R. One person, a 19-year-old student, was seriously injured and bystanders performed CPR. The man died by the time the ambulance arrived. Two 18-year-old women were injured and taken to a nearby hospital. The school released the following statement following the death: “ We are devastated to report that earlier this afternoon, a tragic accident occurred on campus in which one of our students was killed and two others were injured. We are working to contact the students’ families and will report more information as it becomes available. We are deeply saddened by the shocking loss of a member of our community.” — Lewis & Clark Monday was the first day of the new college school year. On Tuesday morning, caution tape surrounded the area around the Lewis & Clark outdoor pool where the brick column collapsed. Much of the area near where the column had collapsed was relatively quiet, with some students sitting in the nearby Estate Gardens, just west of the pool, working on laptops and writing in notebooks. Elsewhere on campus, college activities continued on the second day of the fall semester, with some classes doing icebreaker activities outside and others already deep in lectures inside campus buildings.
