A thunderstorm has left one person dead and at least 15 wounded after it caused a stage to collapse at a music festival in Canada.
Thousands of fans were camping at the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, east of Edmonton, when strong winds and heavy rain hit on Saturday. Many screamed and ran for cover as the stage suddenly came crashing down.
Camrose Police Chief Darrell Kambeitz said 15 of those injured were taken to hospitals.
Update: This video now shows the correct incident.
Cheers for the info Gamma Goblin!
"The concert at Big Valley Jamboree was delayed and the concert bowl was being cleared when a small portion of the main stage collapsed," Mr Kambeitz said. He went on that reports of dozens of people being trapped at the site were not true.
Nashville musician Billy Currington had been performing before the structure collapsed.
A member of his band was pulled from the wreckage with a badly injured and bloodied arm.
