TROUTMAN, N.C. — A tree fell on a wagon carrying 50 people at Zootastic Park in Iredell County, officials said.

Officials said one person suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to a hospital. Two others were taken to a local hospital.

Owen Parker said his wife was inches from where the tree landed.

“Now, I realize that if that tree didn't fall between the trailers more people would have gotten hurt,” Parker said. “It's a good thing nobody died.”
