Eleven people were injured when a wooden walkway collapsed at Doubling Point Lighthouse in Arrowsic, Maine, during the annual Maine Open Lighthouse Day event. Five of the injured were taken to hospitals. The collapse occurred at low tide, causing some victims to fall eight to ten feet into a rocky mudflat below. The lighthouse, which has been standing since the late 19th century, is currently closed to visitors until further notice. The Friends of Doubling Point Light group intends to repair the lighthouse, but no timeframe has been set.
