BOSTON (WHDH) - A terrifying visit to the Franklin Park Zoo Tuesday, when a tree branch came crashing down on top of a child and adult.
Both were rushed to the hospital, and state police say the child was seriously hurt.
SKY7HD was over the scene when it took place just after noon near the Zoo’s Farmhouse Café on Tuesday.
Police say the school-aged child was taken to Boston’s Children’s Hospital.
The adult was also taken to a local hospital.
Parents reacted to the news. Christin Duggan herself often serves as a chaperone for children at the zoo.
“It gets really busy there,” said Duggan. “A lot of kids running around. I mean, I work for the school too, and I go with school kids also, and its fun. The kids love it. You just don’t think of something like that happening.”
