Less than 24 hours before the gates to the 15th annual Ultra Music Festival are set to open, a jumbotron screen collapsed and injured four people. The collapse occurred right before 8 p.m. this evening and Miami Fire Rescue crews were on the scene. Two male set up crew members were seriously injured, a third crew member was also injured and is in stable condition. A fourth crew member was treated on the scene. The first weekend is scheduled to occur as planned as of right now.
