CMPD responds to food truck incident at Lovin' Life Music Fest in Charlotte
In the final hours of this year's Lovin' Life Music Fest, there was an incident at one of the music festival's food trucks.
Shortly before 8 p.m. on Sunday, several Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officers and the Charlotte Fire Department were seen responding at the Bojangles' food truck near the Miller Lite Stage during Teddy Swims' performance.
According to fans at the festival, the truck appeared to be on fire, with flames seen blowing from inside.
At this time, it's unclear what exactly happened or if anyone was injured. But around 9 p.m., CharlotteFive's team noticed that fire trucks left the scene, though the area was still cordoned off and being guarded.
We have reached out to CMPD, Charlotte Fire and Lovin' Life Music Fest organizers for more information.
This is a developing story. Keep an eye out on this space for more updates.
