Six crew members working on Ed Sheeran's concert setup at Detroit's Ford Field were hospitalised after a forklift lost control during the post-show teardown. Officials described the incident, which occurred just after 11pm, as a "forklift injury accident" after the vehicle struck a golf cart carrying several workers who had been walking away to take a break. The episode highlights the safety risks facing touring crews during equipment breakdown, and is now under review by Ford Field, the event's production partners and Michigan's occupational safety regulator.

Roxana Padilla, a supervisor for a staffing firm employed by the stadium, said she witnessed the forklift approaching at speed before it flipped the golf cart, throwing occupants from it; she suffered a fractured nose and septum and awaits word on whether surgery will be needed. All six injured crew members were taken to hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening by Detroit Fire Department. Ford Field said it would not speculate on the cause while the review is ongoing, and thanked emergency responders. Sheeran has not commented, and his Loop Tour is due to continue in New Jersey on 4 September.
