Authorities said that when a powerful gust of wind pushed the bouncy house they were playing in flying into the adjoining lot, a 2-year-old boy died and another youngster was injured.
The police statement describing the event states that the Pinal County Sheriff’s department was summoned to a house on W. Rosemead Drive and N. Bel Air Road, outside of Casa Grande, Arizona, at around five o’clock on Saturday.
“That afternoon, several children were playing in a bounce house when a strong gust of wind sent it airborne into the neighboring lot,” Pinal County Sheriff’s Office stated.
“A two-year-old child was transported to the hospital where he passed away. A second child received non-life threatening injuries and was also transported to the hospital for care.”
It was discovered that the second youngster had non-life-threatening injuries, but the boy, who is yet unidentified, had died after being taken to a nearby hospital.
