At around 4:30 p.m., two adults and a child were ejected from the log-shaped car as the motor-operated cart approached the bottom of the water-slide.Officials reported the accident injured a total of five people. Of the three in focus, one victim was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital in critical condition. The other two victims, including a 10-year-old boy, were treated for minor injuries.According to Castle Park, the log ride advertises as \u201cone of the steepest and largest log rides ever built\u2026\u201d with a 48-foot drop.
