It was a somber scene at the Indiana State Fair Saturday night after 5 people were killed and 40 injured when the Sugarland concert stage collapsed just before the country duo was set to perform.
High winds reportedly caused the collapse just after opener Sara Bareilles took the stage. A reporter in Wane, Indiana wrote: "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. There were people trapped underneath and everyone was running and screaming. They were asking any medics or nurses not to leave.
Sugarland tweeted condolences Saturday night about the horrible accident: "We are all right. We are praying for our fans, and the people of Indianapolis. We hope you’ll join us. They need your strength."
Bareilles also took to Twitter to offer her support: "I'm speechless and feel so helpless. Please send love and prayers to Indianapolis tonight. My heart aches for the lives lost."
Few details have been released about the condition of the 40 injured fans, though it is believed some are still in critical condition. Three children are being treated at the Riley Hospital for Children.
Sugarland tweeted, "We are alright. We are praying for our admirers and the humans of Indianapolis. We achievement you'll accompany us.
