Injuries at festival attributed to crowd pushing forward

PHOENIX — Nine people who injured over the weekend at a Tempe music festival were part of a growing crowd that gradually pushed concert-goers forward and trapped some of them against a fence in front of the stage.
Authorities say Monday that the injuries from the Summer Ends Music Festival weren’t caused by a stampede toward the stage.
Instead, it was caused by an accumulation of concertgoers in triple-digit heat who tried to move closer to see a reggae band Saturday evening.
