LIGONIER - A Westmoreland County emergency dispatcher said a boy fell from a wooden roller coaster at Idlewild amusement park Thursday afternoon.
Park spokesman Jeff Croushore told the Associated Press he doesn't know the boy's condition or where he was on the ride when he fell.
Croushore said he couldn't say whether the ride malfunctioned or if horseplay was involved.
The Rollo Coaster opened in 1938 and takes riders up, down and around a wooded hillside. It doesn't require seatbelts, and children under 4 feet tall must be accompanied by an adult.
The accident comes four days after a 10-year-old boy was decapitated as he rode a waterslide at a Kansas water park Thursday.
A spokesman said the child was conscious and airlifted to Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh.
NBC reported the child was a 3-year-old boy.
Emergency personnel responded to the scene shortly after noon.
