Source: Yahoo News
LANCASTER, N.H. (AP) A circus tent collapsed when a severe storm raked a northern New Hampshire fairground Monday, killing two people and injuring 15 others, authorities said.
WMUR-TV (http://bit.ly/1Hnh5WB ) reported that state Department of Safety spokesman Michael Todd confirmed the fatalities.
The accident happened Monday evening at the Lancaster fairgrounds, about 90 miles north of the state capital in Concord. Florida-based Walker International Events was scheduled to do two shows Monday before moving on to Vermont on Tuesday. The company did not immediately return a call seeking comment Monday night.
State police say it's unclear exactly how many people were hurt but up to 250 people were in the tent when it collapsed
