Stage collapse at Radiohead concert leaves one dead and one seriously injured

The CBC is reporting one of the injured was transported to Sunnybrook Hospital in serious condition while the other two were being assessed at the scene.

The concert was cancelled following the accident. It is unclear what caused the stage to collapse.

The band posted this message on their Twitter page, "Due to unforeseen circumstances tonight's at downsview park tonight has been cancelled. Fans are advised not to make their way to the venue."
Today marks the 15-year anniversary of the release of Radiohead's classic album, "OK Computer."



initial investigations had indicated that the collapse occurred when stage equipment was being erected and there was 'some kind of failure.'

Toronto Police Service Constable Harrison Ford told Channel 3000 that the weather was good at the time, with no storm or significant winds.

'From what I understand the piping which makes up the roof structure where lights and what not are supported collapsed down and there was workers setting up the stage at the time,' Toronto Fire Services Captain Mike Strapko told CP24.

One witness waiting to enter the park described what he witnessed to CP24.

'I was at the front of the line looking towards the stage and I saw the scaffolding around the stage collapsing in on itself and heard the sound of metal hitting metal and within five seconds it was over,' said Mark Salemi.

'It didn't look like that much at first, but slowly I started to hear over Twitter and things like that how serious it was.'
