A tarp collapsed onto a stage in Villa Rica, Georgia, has left five people injured on Saturday.

The tarp collapse took place at the Curves & Chrome Rally for a Cure at the V-Plex, reported the Times-Georgian.

The five people who were injured were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Villa Rica Mayor J. Collins said.

“People were trying to get the water off the tarp,” Collins told the paper.

“They had already pulled the plug on the electrics, and people were trying to get the water off the tarp and evidently it collapsed.”

The incident generated more attention after Twitter users posted photos.
