Video footage of the collapse showed people screaming, running away and climbing out from under metal polls.
Nine people - including a child - have been killed and another 50 injured after a stage collapsed during a presidential campaign rally in Mexico. Video footage of the collapse posted on social media showed people screaming, running away and climbing out from under metal polls at the event for presidential candidate Jorge Alvarez Maynez in the northern state of Nuevo Leon.
He said 'strong winds blew down a stage at a campaign' and warned residents to stay indoors amid thunderstorms in the area - citing the weather as contributing to the incident. 'I ask God for a lot of strength for the families of the deceased and injured. We are with you,' he added. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who can't run in the 2 June election, said he 'sends a hug to family members, friends of the victims and political supporters'.
