Two kids hurt when jumping castle goes airborne, crashes on Speedway
Let’s make sure those things are tied down!
Two children were injured today after a dust devil lifted a jumping castle into the air, sending it airborne before crashing in a local intersection.
The Tucson Fire Department responded to the intersection of 11th Avenue and Speedway Boulevard at 2 p.m. today, where a jumping castle was on the median.
The jumping castle had flown over three lanes of traffic before crashing. Fire Department spokeswoman Trish Tracy said the jumping castle at one point was flying about 15 feet high in the air.
Two children, a boy and a girl, were in the jumping castle at the time. They both were transported to a local hospital with serious, but non life-threatening injuries.
The ages and names of the children were not immediately available.
This is the second jumping castle incident that has occurred in Pima County this year.
