Barrier collapse injures 29

Twenty-nine fans were hurt, five of them seriously, when a barrier collapsed at a stadium in Amiens, France, on Saturday.

A fence separating Lille fans from the pitch gave way as they surged forward to celebrate the opening goal against Amiens, a regional rival that has just been promoted to the top flight in French soccer.

Several tumbled about five feet and were crushed by other fans who fell on top of them. Injuries included head, chest and abdominal trauma, medical authorities said.
