A worker was killed after a tour bus collapsed on them at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in Vienna, Virginia, on Thursday ahead of a scheduled concert headlined by Squeeze.
The show, which was also set to feature Adam Ant and Haircut 100, was canceled following the incident.
According to a statement from the US Park Police, “at approximately 5 p.m., USPP responded to a report that a tour bus collapsed on a worker in a parking lot at Wolf Trap. The worker was underneath the bus when the apparatus supporting it failed.”
Wolf Trap later confirmed that the worker died as a result of the accident.
“Squeeze are deeply saddened and shocked by an incident that occurred at the venue earlier today, which resulted in the loss of a life,” the band said in its own statement. “After discussions with the venue and the relevant authorities, the decision was made to cancel this evening’s performance.”
