Dozens of people were injured early Sunday when a floor collapsed at a party in a building near Clemson University in South Carolina.

Thirty people were taken to three wounded hospitals in the area, police said.

The collapse occurred on the first floor of a building located at Woodlands of Clemson, a neighborhood just minutes from campus, shortly before 12:30 pm. The center floor of a clubhouse was collapsed in the basement, police said.

The clubhouse had been rented for a private party. Videos shot on the scene showed a big party with people jumping and dancing when the ground gave way under their feet.

Everyone was able to be removed from the building and no one was trapped, according to officials.

None of the injuries seemed to be life threatening, the Clemson Police Department said.

Clemson University celebrated its reunion this weekend and had won a major college football game against fellow countryman, ranked opponent in the state of North Carolina on Saturday afternoon.

Police said that an investigation into the incident was underway.
