Child falls off roller coaster

It’s the fourth amusement park accident in five days.

Details were sketchy about the child and the injuries he received at Idlewild and SoakZone in Ligonier around 1 p.m.

He was airlifted to Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh about 50 miles away, said Westmoreland County public safety spokeswoman Mary Beth Eslary. A hospital spokeswoman said the parents have asked that no information be released about the child or his condition.

In the other recent accidents on amusement park or fair rides across the country, one child has been killed, another suffered a brain injury and at least two others were hospitalized.

Idlewild and SoakZone spokesman Jeff Croushore provided few details regarding the accident, but said it happened on the

Rollo Coaster, an old-style wooden ride, CNN-affiliate WTAE reported.
The boy fell off about midway through the ride, according to Eslary.
