With the gathered crowd readying for what was set to be an enjoyable night of music and togetherness, things took a drastic turn for the worse at the Indiana State Fair on Saturday night (August 13).
The tragedy took place just as Sugarland was readying to take the Hoosier Lottery Grandstand stage, with high winds knocking over lighting rigging with the stage collapsing in an incident that left four dead and numerous concertgoers injured.
According to local officials, three young attendees were taken to Riley Hospital for Children while eight adults were rushed to Methodist Hospital of Indianapolis.
Meanwhile, those with less severe injuries were taken to Wishard Memorial Hospital, with the medical facility treating seventeen patients.
Of the Indiana State Fair stage collapsing, Sugarland released a statement sending their deepest sympathy, as the band told, ?We are all right after our stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair tonight. Many of our fans and friends in Indianapolis may not be. Please keep them in your thoughts, prayers, or whatever form of strength you are able to send. They need you. Thank you.?
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Indiana University Health named Kristofer Karol told press, ?It?s a pretty serious situation, especially when you have to call in most of your emergency crews."
Karol added, "It?s under control back here but everybody is working to get us through this."
