Stage Collapse

The state of Indiana has settled with 63 of the 65 victims from August’s stage collapse before a Sugarland show at the Indiana State Fair. KRTV in Indianapolis reports that of the $5 million available for compensation, all but $2,000 has been claimed.

A powerful, fast moving thunderstorm hit the Indiana State Fair last night in Indianapolis, toppling the stage scaffolding prior to a Sugarland concert, killing at least five and sending 42 others to area hospitals. Officials say the number injured could rise as more information surfaces today.
