Strong gusts hit the Medusa electronic music festival in Cullera south of Valencia in the early hours of Saturday

One person was killed and dozens were injured when high winds caused part of a stage to collapse at a dance music festival near the Spanish city of Valencia in the early hours of Saturday, regional emergency services said.

Other infrastructure was also damaged when gusts battered the Medusa festival, a huge electronic music festival held over six days in the east coast town of Cullera, south of Valencia. Of the injured, three suffered serious trauma injuries and 14 had more minor injuries, regional emergency services tweeted. Regional health authorities said later that 40 people were attended to.

“We are completely devastated and saddened at what happened this morning,” the organisers said in a statement on the festival’s Facebook page. They said “extraordinary” weather conditions had caused damage to infrastructure on the festival site.Archie Bland and Nimo Omer take you through the top stories and what they mean, free every weekday morningNewsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.
