18 Football Fans Injured In France As Stadium Fence Collapses

The French emergency services have said that 18 fans have been injured and three are in a serious condition after a barrier collapsed during a Ligue 1 game.
The fixture between Amiens and Lille at the Stade de La Licorne was stopped in the 16th minute after Fode Ballo-Toure's goal sparked celebrations in the away end that caused a fence separating the fans from the pitch to crumble under their weight.

Dozens of Lille supporters tumbled down several feet onto the side of the pitch, with their fellow supporters falling on top of them, with medical staff quickly rushing to the scene to tend to those injured. Both teams were sent to the changing rooms and the match was subsequently abandoned.
