Louis Tomlinson’s Red Rocks concert leaves 7 fans hospitalized, nearly 100 injured by severe hailstorm
foxnews.comSeven fans were rushed to the hospital after a severe hailstorm impacted a Louis Tomlinson concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Wednesday night.
The golf ball-sized hail poured down on the concertgoers attending the One Direction alum’s performance. The West Metro Fire confirmed on their social media that, "7 people transported to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
A total of 80 to 90 people treated on scene. Injuries include cuts and broken bones." The fierce storm forced Tomlinson to shut down the concert, as the English singer-songwriter noted he was "devastated" about the chaotic events that unfolded. "Sending all my love out to everyone that was affected by the extreme weather at Red Rocks last night," Tomlinson wrote in a statement on Twitter. "I hope everyone has made it home safely and anyone injured is on the mend, it was devastating to see so many of you affected." Meanwhile, a fan described the injuries that she received, after being one of the thousands of people pelted with hail at the outdoor concert venue. "I have a few bumps and bruises along my backside on my hip," Jessica Thompson told FOX Weather on Thursday.
She was one of the at least 90 concertgoers that were injured during the hailstorm. "There had never been once a warning for hail, or else we would have left," Thompson remarked.
