One dead, dozens injured in crush during rally at Peru soccer stadium

One person died and dozens were injured in a crush at a Peruvian soccer stadium during a rally, according to local reports. Videos from local television showed large crowds of fans in the south stands as fireworks exploded nearby, suggesting the crush may have been triggered by the pyrotechnics or the surge of spectators they caused. Stadium crushes at sporting events have been deadly in Peru and other countries where crowd control measures are sometimes inadequate. Authorities have not yet released an official death toll or detailed account of how the incident unfolded. The incident raises questions about safety protocols at the venue ahead of any future events.
