The accident happened at the Bb&T Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey, after Snoop and Wiz yelled for the crowd to “stand up.” Unable to withstand the pressure from the excited crowd, the railing buckled and the support poles failed. A county spokesman told NBC10 Philadelphia that most of the injuries were broken bones, bumps and bruises. One person was critically injured and taken to Cooper Trauma Center. Also Read: Snoop Dogg.

The iconic television writer, creator, and producer Glen A. Larson passed away Friday, November 14, at the age of 77.

Larson was perhaps best known for creating some of the most iconic TV shows of the 1970s and '80s including Alias Smith and Jones, McCloud, Buck Rogers In The 25th Century, B.J. And The Bear, Trauma Center, Quincy M.E., Manimal, The Fall Guy, and Magnum P.I..

However, two of Larson's most lasting creations are still cultural touchstones to this day. In 1982, Larson introduced Kitt, the artificially intelligent car, and David Hasselhoff's Michael Knight to American audiences with Knight Rider, and it quickly became one of the biggest TV hits of its day.

Four years prior, Larson created a show that would, much later, become a hugely celebrated franchise. In 1978, Larson brought the cult classic sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica to TVs across the country.
