Summary
Fourteen people were taken to local hospitals during Friday night’s Chainsmokers concert at Discovery Meadow after a cluster of medical emergencies prompted a large response.
San Jose fire officials said crews answered more than a dozen calls starting at 8:22 p.m., then requested an Ambulance Task Force, two added advanced life support units and a battalion chief.
Police told NBC Bay Area several attendees were treated for suspected alcohol intoxication and drug-related issues, though officials did not disclose the patients’ conditions.
The concert continued despite the emergency response, and the Chainsmokers had not commented publicly as of the report, though they posted video from the show.
