Storm kills 3, injures 71 at Belgian festival (AP)

BRUSSELS ? The head of emergency planning of the Belgian town of Hasselt said three people died when a storm hit an open air music festival nearby.

Hugo Simons told VRT radio that 11 people were severely injured while 60 sustained light injuries at the annual Pukkelpop festival.

Video from the site showed stage equipment dangling in high winds as rain-soaked concertgoers at the Pukkelpop festival ran for cover near the town of Hasselt, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) east of Brussels.

The festival's website lists a number of stages where concerts and performances were to be held during the three-day event, which started Thursday. Reports say some 60,000 people are attending the event.
