Strong gust of wind toppled the stage at a campaign rally Wednesday evening in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon, killing at least nine people – including a child – and injuring 63, the state’s governor said.

The collapse occurred during an event attended by longshot presidential candidate Jorge Álvarez Máynez, who ran to escape.

Videos of the collapse on social media showed people screaming, running away and climbing out from under metal polls.
