42 Injured After New Jersey Rap Concert Rail Collapse [VIDEO]

At least 42 people were hospitalized Friday after a surging crowd caused a railing to collapse at a rap concert in New Jersey, authorities said.

The concert incident, headlined by rappers Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa at the BB&T Pavilion in Camden, happened around 10:25 p.m., according to 6abc.

Cell phone video recorded during the concert captured the moment the rail collapse (see below).

Witnesses said concertgoers piled on top of each other. "Everyone all of a sudden started pushing," said Abbey Hecht of Lower Merion, Pa. told 6abc. "And the gate broke. And all of a sudden I fell like six or seven feet. And I luckily fell on top of someone so I didn't hit the concrete. But there were, like, maybe four or five people on top of me and it was so hard to breathe. I couldn't move. I literally thought I was dying. It was so scary."

The injured were taken to Cooper University Hospital, Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center and Virtua Hospital in Camden, and Inspira Medical Center and Kennedy University Hospital in Cherry Hill, according to the reports.

According to a NBC10 Philadelphia,Snoop and Wiz were yelling for the crowd to "Stand up" when the rail collapse happened.

The railing separates the lawn from a covered portion of the hall in the center of the venue. The lawn sits several feet above a concrete walkway, and the railing failed where the support poles met a support wall, according to the reports.
