Colombia stadium collapse leaves at least 4 dead and 30 seriously injured
“At this moment, we have four (dead) victims confirmed — two women, an adult man and a minor — plus about 30 people seriously injured. Of course, we have activated all the hospitals and ambulances we can work with,” Gov. Ricardo Orozco said on BluRadio Colombia, a local radio outlet.
“We deeply regret what happened in our bullfight arena,” Tamayo said in the statement. “I want to ask all the citizens who are in the area to please evacuate, authorities are already responding to the emergency and the injured have been taken to hospitals. Please, let’s evacuate, together let’s help the emergency services so they can do their job.”
No official cause of the collapse has been given, but Tamayo said in his statement that authorities “have already begun investigating the causes of what happened.”
