Coachella stage closes after stage light falls on attendee

""A piece of lighting equipment had tumbled from the stage, hitting a woman standing about three rows ahead of him. It hit her on the side of the head and gassed her head open, Freshour says. There was blood all over the light, and then there was blood on the ground.""

""After the light fixture fell, surrounding attendees flashed lights around trying to signal to medics that someone was hurt. Freshour says three people in the audience then picked up the injured festivalgoer, took her out of the crowd and ran to get medical attention.""

""This is not okay, he adds. Coachella, what are we doing?""

""Freshour says that yesterday's strong winds, which caused chaos throughout Coachella, likely factored into the light fixture's fall; it was picking up wind pretty quick during Summit's set.""
