FOUR people have been seriously injured in the collapse of a large canvas shade sail in Sydney's inner west.
Emergency services workers were called to a park at the intersection of Burwood Road and Wilga Streets, Burwood about 3.25am (AEDT) on Sunday following reports the shade sail had collapsed, injuring people who had climbed on top of it. Police say paramedics treated three males and one female at the scene before taking them to hospital.
It was possible all four had sustained spinal injuries, a police spokesman said.
It is not know which hospital they were taken to.
