Strong winds topple stage at a campaign rally in northern Mexico, killing at least 5 people
At least five are dead and 50 more injured after the collapse of a stage during a campaign rally in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon. The state’s governor confirmed the tragedy. The stage collapse, caused by a strong gust of wind, occurred during an event attended by presidential long-shot candidate Jorge Álvarez Máynez. Videos of the dramatic incident painted social media on Wednesday night. Videos showed plummeting wind, people screaming and running away, later climbing out from under metal polls. Afterward, soldiers, police and other officials roamed the grounds of the park where the event took place.
