Ford Field load-out accident injures six workers after Ed Sheeran concert
Six workers were injured in a vehicle tunnel at Ford Field during the load-out phase following Ed Sheeran's final Detroit concert on August 29, 2026. The Detroit Fire Department responded shortly after 11 p.m. to the scene, where equipment reportedly lost control near a ramp. All six individuals were transported to local hospitals; two were in serious condition and four were stable, with no injuries deemed life-threatening. Ford Field confirmed one injured person was on their staff and stated they are cooperating with authorities for a full review. The incident occurred after a nearly three-hour performance attended by 40,000 fans, which marked Sheeran's final U.S. tour stop before a planned break to spend time with his family.
