SHOSHONE, Idaho — Three people are injured after a walkway collapsed at the Shoshone Ice Caves.
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office says dispatch was contacted around 5:47 p.m. on Sunday, with initial reports of a bridge collapse and 20 people stuck inside the cave. Once on scene, emergency crews discovered no one was stuck inside.
A co-owner of the business told Idaho News 6 that a bolt supporting the walkway gave way. He added that people who were on the walkway at that time tumbled about a foot to two feet as the walkway tilted to the side.

Of the three injured, the Sheriff's Office says one person may have broken ribs, while the other two faced only minor injuries.
Multiple agencies responded to the walkway collapse, including SIRCOMM, Lincoln County EMS, Shoshone Fire, LifeLight, and Lincoln County Sheriff's Office Deputies.
In a Facebook post, the Shoshone Ice Caves thanked emergency personnel for a fast response.
The Shoshone Ice Caves will be closed on Monday, September 1, with hopes to have the walkway fixed in about a week.
