AT LEAST 19 people have been taken to hospital with serious injuries following a crowd crush incident at the Falls Music and Arts Festival at Lorne in Victoria. Police say a large number of people were injured after those at the front of a crowd leaving a performance lost their footing at about 9.50pm on Friday. Ambulance Victoria state health commander Paul Holman said paramedics and ambulances were on site, and worked with first aid providers to triage and assess more than 60 people injured in the crush.
“We transported 13 women and six men to hospital, mostly with lower limb fractures.
“Injuries included leg, rib, hip and pelvic fractures, possible spinal injuries, head and facial injuries, cuts and abrasions. Patients’ ages ranged from late teens to late 20s,” Mr Holman said in a statement.
“It was quite a chaotic scene and required a major response. “While the injuries are significant, this could have been quite a tragedy and we are grateful that the outcome was not worse.” Festival organisers posted an official note on Facebook confirming the crowd crush incident just after Australian band DMA’s had finished playing in the Grand Theatre tent.
Eyewitness accounts reported the crush as a “stampede” with bones broken, shoes torn off and mobile phones crushed.
