Child Injured After Being Thrown from Carnival Ride at Illinois Festival

Carnival rides were shut down at an Illinois community festival after a 10-year-old boy was thrown from the Moby Dick ride, suffering serious injuries including facial fractures and a leg injury. The incident occurred at Antioch's Taste of Summer festival, prompting the mayor to close down all rides. The police department and state regulators are investigating the incident for any reckless or negligent acts, while similar incidents have been reported at other summer festivals and amusement parks this year.
