4 killed, hundreds injured when stands collapse during Colombian bullfight

Part of the wooden stands collapsed during a bullfight in central Colombia Sunday, sending spectators plunging to the ground and killing at least four people and injuring hundreds, Associated Press (AP) reported.

The disaster took place in a stadium in the city of El Espinal in Tolima state during a traditional event called “corraleja”‌ in which members of the public enter the ring to engage the bulls.

Videos taken during the bullfight show a multi-story section of the stands collapsing as people screamed.
