CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) – Members of a wedding party in Charlotte this weekend had a night they’ll never forget.
The Charlotte Fire Department said that early Sunday morning crews responded to calls regarding an incident at an unspecified hotel in Charlotte.
Six people that were guests of a wedding for Mr. and Mrs. Jha were found to be trapped in the hotel elevator between the first and second floors, CFD said.
