The Big Valley Jamboree Music Festival in Alberta, Canada turned deadly today when straightline winds and a dust storm caused the stage to collapse. Billy Currington was just leaving the stage when the storm hit, trapping concert goers and injuring one member of his band. The Calgary Herald is reporting at least 60 injured and 1 dead because of the incident.
Sources say winds reached over 100 mph, lifting the stage several feet in the air and dropping it back down. The damage is pretty heavy and the injuries are still coming in.
