A 3-year-old-boy has been injured at the Idlewild and SoakZone amusement park.
LIGONIER, Pennsylvania:
A 3-year-old boy has been injured in an accident on an old wooden roller coaster in Pennsylvania and has been hospitalized.
A spokesman for Idlewild and SoakZone amusement park near Ligonier says the boy was injured on Thursday while riding the attraction with his brother.
A county dispatcher says the boy fell off the ride. But the park hasn't provided details on what happened.
Officials say the boy was conscious when he was airlifted to a hospital. The boy's name, age and condition haven't been released.
The Rollo Coaster opened in 1938 and takes riders up, down and around a wooded hillside. It doesn't require seat belts. It passed an inspection today but will stay closed until an investigation ends.
On Sunday, a boy was decapitated riding a waterslide at a Kansas water park.
