Two men injured at Beaches Rib Fest

-

The Ministry of Labour is investigat­ing after stage lights fell on two men at the Beaches Rib Fest on Friday night. The men — one in his 40s, the other in his 50s — were taken to hospital with non-life-threatenin­g injuries, said Toronto police Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook.

It is not known what caused the lights to fall. Rib Fest organizer Justin Brown said he believes they fell because of strong winds and rain.

“There is an ongoing investigat­ion and we’ve taken every step possible to ensure this doesn’t happen again,” Brown said. The festival at Woodbine Park continues Sunday.
