Nearly 100 people attending a concert Wednesday evening at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver were injured after being pelted with large hail during severe storms that moved across the area, a fire department said.
At least seven people were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, the West Metro Fire Department said in a tweet. Up to 90 people were treated on scene, the department said. Injuries included cuts and broken bones, it said."I managed to hide where they were selling drinks and I used my backpack to protect myself and another girl," she said, adding that she hurt her head and shoulder during the incident.
Earlier in the day, the Boulder weather service office warned that "We are still in the 'loaded gun' scenario of having tremendous instability," which could lead to severe weather throughout the evening. "Devastated about the show tonight, hope everyone's ok, I'll be back!" the former One Direction star tweeted. "Even though we didn't play the show I felt all of your passion! Sending you all love!"
"It was almost like a crazy movie scene," Scott said. "The sky was lighting up with lightning, so I was expecting a quicker extreme weather warning besides a delay."
