The stage was set up for the Sugarland concert at the state fairgrounds. Rigging for the stage lighting reportedly fell around 8:50 p.m., before the main act took the stage. Dave Lindquist, music journalist for The Indianapolis Star, reported on Twitter, "Tragedy at fair concert. Entire stage collapses on track." He also wrote that "perhaps a dozen injured people have been removed from track on stretcher-type boards." Eyewitness News' Chuck Lofton reported from the scene that evacuation efforts were in place before the stage collapsed. High winds may have played a role in the collapse. Photographer John Duong said at 9:30 p.m. that there were still people trapped under the stage that had collapsed. Viewer Darryl Cox said the rigging fell on people in a VIP area in front of the stage. Eyewitness News has a crew headed to the scene and continues to work to confirm information. http://www.wthr.com/story/15262930/stage-collapses-at-state-fairgrounds
