The 10-year-old boy who was thrown from a ride at the Taste of Antioch festival Sunday suffered multiple injuries to his jaw, face and to the bones in one leg. He underwent surgery and is expected to survive, officials said Monday.
The boy, identified by a family member as Huntley, fell from an attraction that Antioch officials called the “Moby Dick ride” about 2:40 p.m. Sunday and was airlifted first to Advocate Lutheran General in Park Ridge and then to Comer Children’s Hospital in Chicago, where he had surgery, according to a news release from Antioch officials.
