ASTORIA, Ore. -- Astoria police say a deck outside a room of the Red Lion Inn of Astoria has collapsed, dropping five men into a mooring basin of the Columbia River.

Sgt. Brian Aydt said by the time police responded to a call about the 5 p.m. Thursday collapse, all of the men had gotten out of the water. He says one man had a cut finger but declined treatment.

Aydt says he doesn't know what caused the deck to give way. He estimates the men fell 10-12 feet to the water.

A front desk agent at the Inn said no one was available Thursday night to talk about the incident.
