Disneyland might be thought of as the most magical place on Earth by many, but for at least one person, a trip to the California theme park this week landed them in a much less fun locale: the hospital.
That’s according to reports from KTLA, KABC, The Orange County Register and the Walt Disney World News Today blog.
A temporary lamppost set up in a flower bed as stage lighting for a parade fell down in the Main Street, U.S.A., area of the Anaheim, Calif., park at about 8:45 a.m. Monday. Bloggers said they witnessed at least two people get injured when the pole fell.
KABC reported that people were injured and that one of them was seriously injured. Both the Anaheim Fire Department and Disneyland confirmed the incident, said the outlet.
Strong winds moved into the Southland on Sunday and lingered into Monday, KTLA explained.
“Anaheim Fire and Rescue transported one person with serious injuries to the hospital and two other people were treated at the scene and released, according to Anaheim Fire spokesperson Sgt. Jon McClintock,” The Orange County Register reported.
According to the blog post, the fence where the lamp post was remained dented after the fall.
