According to authorities, a rock performance at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in Virginia was canceled on Thursday after a man working on a tour bus in a nearby parking lot was crushed underneath it hours before the scheduled show. The U.S. Park Police responded to the incident at 5 p.m., where they found the worker trapped under the bus due to a failed supporting apparatus.

The identity of the worker has not been released by the Park Police. The incident prompted some fans to leave the area, while others remained in the parking lot, shaken by the death. Fans interviewed by FOX 5 DC conveyed a sense of tragedy and empathy for the victim and understanding of the decision to cancel the concert.
