Majority had broken bones, bumps and bruises, county spokesman Dan Keashen told NBC 10.
A partition separating concertgoers from a secondary stage at the BB&T Pavilion in Camden collapsed around 10:30PM, which caused people to fall roughly 10 feet onto the concrete.
The injured person was taken to Cooper University Hospital.
Colbridge said the concert, which was about halfway through, was abruptly stopped.
By 11:38 p.m., 42 concert-goers were reportedly transported to local hospitals, most with minor injuries. Although an announcer said the show would go on, it was ultimately cancelled.
Camden City Spokesman Vince Basara says that city officials are working with BB&T Pavilion to address the issue.
The person who suffered the most serious injuries when a railing collapsed during a Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa concert in New Jersey has been released from a hospital.
Hecht said she had four or five people on top of her, making it hard for her to breathe.
Wiz also has yet to comment on the railing collapse. Things quickly escalated out of control as fans began pushing and shoving others, and before they knew it the railing was collapsing and people were falling to the ground below.
A Camden, NJ city spokesperson told AFP the venue has no history of code violations or building maintenance issues.
Security can be seen hurrying the rappers off the stage, and Snoop can be heard telling the crew to cut the music with, “That’s enough of that”.
