Ultra Music Festival Workers Injured After Screen Collapse

Two Ultra Music Festival workers were critically injured when they were setting up the main stage last night. The two men were hurt after a giant LED screen fell down as the team were building the stage, prior to the Miami music event starting today.

Fire rescue announced that two men suffered life-threatening injuries, including one of the victims having both of his legs broken. A further two workers were also hit by the falling screen, with one in a stable condition and the other being treated at the scene.

A large section of the festival will be closed off to the public as a result of the incident, while Ultra Festival stated that organisers "are working with, and supporting, authorities as they investigate the details behind the accident".
