The death toll from a stage collapsing at the Indiana State Fair has climbed to five, Indiana State Police Sgt. Dave Bursten said Sunday.
A massive burst of wind tore down the stage Saturday night. More than 40 people were injured.
"A big gust of wind came through. You could see a lot of people panicking," said Aaron Richman, who witnessed the collapse. "All the scaffolding and speakers -- all that came crashing down -- and the whole stand just collapsed."
The fair is closed Sunday, officials said. Ref. CNN
