Three teens were injured, one seriously, following an industrial accident at Funland in Rehoboth Beach Sept. 12.
First responders were dispatched at 7:45 p.m. to the amusement park on The Boardwalk for three injuries, said Glenn Marshall, spokesman for Sussex County EMS.
Two girls, 14 and 15, were taken to Beebe Healthcare in stable condition and later released. A boy, 16, was seriously injured and flown to Christiana Hospital, where he remains in serious condition with a head injury, said Rehoboth Beach Police Chief Keith Banks.
Following an initial investigation, police said the girls were injured by “environmental conditions created by the air tank failure.” The boy was injured by flying debris from the air tank, and also environmental conditions from the tank’s failure, police said.
