Four Die and Four Born at Rock Festival in California
A free rock festival near Altamont Speedway east of Tracy California drew about 300000 young people. Four men died including Meredith Hunter in a scuffle, and two NJ men were run over. Four babies were born to mothers treated at medical tents. Cleanup crews worked as authorities logged traffic jams and drug use incidents. Proceeds from films made at the festival were to go to a charity chosen by the Rolling Stones.
