A 74-year-old grandmother tells the Big K Morning show she was trampled on during a stampede inside the tunnel near the park's exit.

“All of a sudden all of these people were running into the tunnel,” the woman told KDKA Radio. “There was probably around 100 people. Somehow, they shoved me into the tunnel. I can remember hitting my head.”

The woman tells Marty Griffin and Larry Richert she suffered a concussion, broke her wrist and some ribs.

But she still feels lucky that her 12-year-old granddaughter, who hid inside a park gift shop during the violence, was not hurt.

The woman says she, and many others, lost shoes in the tunnel thanks to the trampling.
