Child falls from roller coaster at Idlewild Park, flown to hospital
[...]
A boy was injured at Idlewild Park & SoakZone in Ligonier Township just after noon Tuesday while riding a classic wooden roller coaster with his brother, a park spokesman said.
[...]
He was seated in the middle section of the Rollo Coaster, built in 1938 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, spokesman Jeff Croushore said Tuesday afternoon.
Park officials would not detail the extent of his injuries or describe exactly where he was on the ride because the investigation is ongoing.
He was talking. He was alert, but he was airlifted, Croushore said.
The initial report from Westmoreland County 911 indicated the boy fell from the coaster at 12:18 p.m. He was conscious and was flown to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC, an emergency dispatcher said.
Croushore said the boy was visiting the park with his family.
The Rollo Coaster is closed and will remain so while state police and Westmoreland County Detectives investigate, Croushore said. The park remained open after the incident.
