Storm kills 3, injures 70 at Belgian festival
A storm swept through a popular open-air music festival in Belgium on Thursday killing at least three people and injuring more than 70 others, an official said, according to The Associated Press.
Ambulances and police cars raced to and from the site of the Pukkelpop festival, near the town of Hasselt, 50 miles (80 kilometers) east of Brussels, late Thursday, their sirens blaring.
Organizers estimated that 60,000 people were at the three-day festival, which started Thursday, when the storm broke.
