PROVO, Utah (AP) — Authorities say malfunctioning fireworks veered into the stands at a crowded Utah football stadium and struck members of the audience. An event spokesperson said six people were taken to the hospital following the mishap at a Fourth of July celebration in Provo. One had serious injuries. The accident occurred Thursday during the opening ceremonies of the annual Stadium of Fire event at Brigham Young University’s LaVell Edwards Stadium.
