Hundreds Hurt When Wooden Stands Collapse During Colombian Bullfight

At least four people are dead and hundreds injured after crowded stands in a makeshift bullring collapsed during a bullfight Sunday in central Colombia.

Officials said the stands collapsed 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.

Espinal Mayor Juan Carlos Tamayo confirmed the accident in a Facebook post. He said about 800 people sat in the sections that collapsed.
