The three friends were drinking bubbly on the balcony when it suddenly collapsed.

The criminal investigation into the accident, which occurred in Ulricehamn in May, is being dropped, reports P4 Sjuhärad. According to the prosecutor, the investigation has not shown that the property owner should have realized the poor condition of the balcony.

Three women, one with a broken back, were taken to hospital after falling from the second floor of the apartment building. They are disappointed with the news.

It was like a punch in the gut. The air went out of you. It just ended somehow, says one of them to P4.
