Two unidentified fans escaped serious injuries when the barrier they were leaning on gave way after the end of the Colts-Raiders game at Lucas Field in Indianapolis.

The barrier was just above the tunnel to the Raiders’ locker room, reported the Associated Press.

Both fans sustained injuries as they fell hard on the walkway, with one leaving on a stretcher and the other in a wheelchair.
