There were reports of up to 42 people being taken to the hospital with minor injuries, but city officials said that number hasn’t been confirmed.

Camden County officials say the person suffered an upper body injury in Friday night’s collapse at BB&T Pavilion in Camden.

Camden city spokesman Vincent Basara said city fire crews and inspectors responded to the scene and were there Saturday morning. Live Nation is closely following the recovery of the injured fans and employees as well as actively working with authorities and structural engineers to determine the cause of the collapse. Among those hurt were several fans and some employees of Live Nation, which operates the venue.

One of the 42 reported injuries was critical, and another 15 landed concertgoers in the hospital for the treatment of broken bones, bumps, bruises and the like, Philadelphia’s NBC10 reports.

“The announcers came on the speakers and were like, ‘Everyone just remain calm, we’re figuring out what happened, ‘” she said.

Snoop and Wiz are now on the road together for Merry Jane Presents Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa: The High Road Tour, which brought them to Camden’s BB&T Pavilion on Friday night.
