Hundreds Injured At Music Festival In Spain

"It broke and we all fell."

Over 300 people have been injured at a music festival in Vigo, Spain after a wooden platform collapsed.

According to BBC, witnesses report the platform gave way during the first song in Majorcan rapper Rels B's set after he told the crowd to jump.

Aitana Alonso, who attended the festival, told a local paper "the floor [of the platform] dropped like a lift". 

"It broke and we all fell. People fell on me. I had trouble getting out. I was trying to get out and skidded, my foot got stuck, in the water. I got it out. A boy gave me his hand and I got out. I felt paralysed and [then] I left. There was a girl with blood on her head."

Police have confirmed that there have been no known fatalities.

Rels B has posted a tweet wishing strength to those who were injured.
