According to Chicago Sun-Times, an Elgin couple left Grant Park in an ambulance long before BLACK SABBATH's Lollapalooza show and spent five hours in the emergency room at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
Cindy Glaser, 39, suffered a severe cervical neck sprain after being hit from behind by a mob of gate crashers who broke down a double row of fencing, vaulted over a row of port-a-potties and hit the Elgin woman from behind.
It happened at around 5:30 p.m. Friday while the couple was sitting on a grove just east of the Bud Light main stage.
“They knocked the fence over. I heard the crash. The kids started running. And we were hit from behind. A kid bent me in half. His head hit my husband’s head and he hit me in the back of the neck and bent my head forward. I couldn’t see anything until the kids hit us,” Glaser said.
