According to CNN , just after singer Sara Bareilles' set, a sudden gust of wind sent scaffolding and speakers crashing into the crowd. One concert goer said the stage "snapped like a toothpick," as audience members rushed to the heaps of metal to try to free those trapped. Some created makeshift stretchers out of parts of their seats to take away the injured.

The tragedy follows a July stage collapse at a Cheap Trick concert in Canada, and a storm-driven collapse at a Flaming Lips concert in Oklahoma earlier this month. No one was seriously injured in either incident.
