MISSOULA, Mont. — A girl was hurt at the Western Montana Fair on Thursday night when she fell from a carnival ride, the Missoulian reported.
The girl, who police said was 11 or 12, fell from the Typhoon ride between 6:30 and 7 p.m., Sgt. Jim Klawitter told the newspaper.
Fair officials closed down the ride after the incident “so that inspectors can figure out what happened,” Klawitter told the newspaper.
She was taken to the hospital, the Missoulian reported. Klawitter said her injuries were serious but not life-threatening.
The fair runs through Sunday.
