Mexico City, May 23 (Reporter) Nine people have died so far, including a child, while another 50 have been injured after portion of a stage crashed at an election rally in Mexico's northern Nuevo Leon state, the local governor has said. The incident occurred as centre-left presidential candidate Jorge Alvarez Maynez was delivering a speech in the city of San Pedro Garza Garcia, the BBC reported. Maynez was not injured in the collapse, and was seen speaking to supporters following the incident, the report said. Several members of his team were injured and rushed to hospital, he said. The collapse was caused by a sudden gust of wind, Maynez said in a post on X. Footage has emerged apparently showing the moment the lighting structure collapsed as a number of people were on the stage, the BBC said. Video posted on social media showed Maynez waving at his supporters and then running to the back of the stage for safety as he realised part of the structure was toppling down. People can also be heard screaming and running from the stage. 'First I saw the musicians' drums, from the group that was going to play, were going to get blown away," Maynez said. "When the others noticed, they ran in different directions; some jumped to the sides and I jumped back," he added. The sudden gust of wind came without forewarning, Maynez said, describing it as an "atypical [weather] event". "What we experienced happened in just a few seconds: A gale came, a sudden wind, and unfortunately, it collapsed the stage, resulting in a fatal accident,” the BBC quoted him as saying at the scene...////...
