CAMDEN, N.J. — Dozens of people were hurt when railing collapsed at a Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa concert Friday night, according to multiple reports.

The collapse happened around 10 p.m. at BB&T Pavilion, a popular outdoor venue on the Camden, New Jersey, waterfront. A woman told WCAU the rappers had just gotten into a secondary stage when a section of the railing gave way.

According to Philly.com, 42 people were injured when the railing that separated the lawn from inside seating collapsed. A Camden City dispatcher told the news website that about 30 people suffered minor injuries and had to be taken to local hospitals for treatment.

WCAU reported that at the time the collapse happened, Snoop and Wiz were yelling for the crowd to "stand up."
