Sugarland Concert Turns Tragic After Stage Collapses, Kills Four at Indiana State Fair

Four people died and 40 more were injured after a stage collapsed at the Indiana State Fair last night, just before the country band Sugarland performed.

High winds are believed to have been the cause of the tragedy.

The collapse was partially captured by a concert-goer. Watch:

The stage collapse was as unexpected as it was lethal.

"The wind just picked up and the stage just caught and the roof just caught and it went up like a sail and then it crashed forward into the people standing in the front," said a reporter for WANE-TV in Indiana.

"There were people trapped underneath and everyone was running and screaming. They were asking any medics or nurses not to leave."

Our condolences to the families of those were were lost.
