Woman ‘fractures knee’ in Boardmasters crowd surge

Ms Brooks, who is based in Yorkshire, said she arrived at The Point stage with her brother, 17, and cousin, 19, an hour before the DJ set.

She said: “We then stood up to get a good view of the stage when more and more people were flocking in.

“This is where we were getting pushed into by people trying to get to the front, which caused us to be packed in like sardines.”

She said she wanted to get out of the crowd but everywhere she turned there was “no way to get out”.

“The crowd then pushed back and caused everyone to fall, with me being the bottom person and I had about 10 people fall onto my legs,” she said.

“I was screaming: ‘My legs,’ when I heard the crunch as someone landed on it.”
