At least nine individuals, including a child, have tragically lost their lives, with 50 more sustaining injuries following a stage collapse at an election campaign rally in Mexico’s northern Nuevo León state, as disclosed by the local governor.
The incident unfolded as centre-left presidential candidate Jorge Alvarez Maynez delivered a speech in San Pedro Garza Garcia, near Monterrey. Despite the calamity, Maynez emerged unscathed and was observed addressing supporters afterward. However, several members of his team suffered injuries, he confirmed.
