Three women have been crushed to death in a stampede at a Halloween party in the Spanish capital, Madrid. Two other women are in critical condition.
西班牙首都馬德里一個萬圣節聚會上發生踩踏事故,造成3名婦女死亡,2人受重傷。
Thousands of revellers had packed into the Madrid Arena for the party when a stampede, believed to have been caused when someone let off a flare or firecracker in a corridor, created a panic.
數千名狂歡者擠進馬德里體育場, 目擊者稱有人向場內投擲一枚焰火,引發觀眾恐慌,最終導致踩踏事故。
An emergency services spokesman says two of the women were killed at the venue and the third died shortly after being rushed to hospital. Halloween has recently become a popular holiday in Spain, coinciding with the traditional All Saints Day festival on November the 1st.
救援部門發言人稱兩名婦女當場死亡,另一名在送往醫院的途中死亡。西班牙最近數年流行過萬圣節,正好和11月1日西班牙的傳統節日“亡靈節”融合在一起。
