42 injured after railing at Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa concert collapses

A partition separating a lawn from a secondary stage set up at the rear of the seating section collapsed at a Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa concert last night (August 5) at Camden, New Jersey's BB&T Pavilion.

People fell approximately 10 foot onto concrete as a result. 

The accident happened just when the performers was asking the audience to come toward the small stage, according to officials. As the crowd rushed to the railing, it collapsed.

One fan is still in Camden's Cooper Trauma Center. Most of the remaining 41 injured suffered bruises but some also had broken bones.

Promoter, Live Nation, said tonight's concert (August 6) featuring Salt N Pepa and Vanilla Ice will go ahead, as will Sunday night's (August 7) Fifth Harmony concert.
