Stage Collapse at Mexican Campaign Rally Leaves Four Dead

A stage collapse at a campaign event for Mexican presidential candidate Jorge Alvarez Maynez in San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon, resulted in multiple casualties and injuries. Reports indicate that a sudden gust of wind caused the stage to collapse during Maynez's speech, leading to the deaths of at least four people and injuring 15 others. The collapse occurred in a wealthy enclave near Monterrey, and the injured are receiving treatment at local clinics.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador confirmed the casualties, and Nuevo Leon Governor Samuel Garcia urged residents to stay indoors due to strong thunderstorms in the area. Jorge Alvarez Maynez, who is a candidate for the Citizens' Movement party, was taken to a local hospital but reported that he is fine. He has suspended his campaign activities following the incident and is in communication with state authorities.
