Kevin Costner Escapes Injury In Weather-Related Stage Collapse
Kevin Costner and his band Modern West narrowly avoided serious injury when a stage collapsed during a windstorm in Canada over the weekend.
The freak accident killed one and and injured 75 others.
The band was prepping to take the stage at the Big Valley Jamboree Festival in Camrose, Alberta, Canada on Saturday when a deadly thunderstorm caused the stage to cave in. Both Costner and his manager were trapped beneath the structure when it fell, but were able to crawl out to safety.
The actor and his band have released a statement regarding this week’s accident. “We are so sad about the loss of life and injury that occurred on a day that carried so much promise, but turned so wicked so quickly. We hope to return to Alberta in the future to help with the healing.”
