Spanish authorities say one person has been killed and dozens more injured at an outdoor music festival in eastern Spain when part of a temporary concert stage collapsed in strong wind
At least one person is dead after a "strong gust of wind" knocked off parts of the Medusa Festival stage structure, emergency services said.
Video from the Medusa Music Festival near the coastal city of Valencia, Spain, shows disappointed concert-goers evacuating as the wind blows debris. With wind measuring 82 kilometers per hour, or around 50 mph, the organizers canceled the festival and shared a statement issuing the condolences to the victims' families.
"Our highest priority has always been the security of those attending our event. As well as for our workers and the artists. We think that all who know us understand that our highest priority is to protect each of you at our events," the statement said. "It's a very painful moment. Difficult and heartbreaking.
