36 Children Injured in Sledding Accident
From Times Wire Reports
Thirty-six children were injured in a sledding accident during a New Year’s Eve party hosted by Minot Youth for Christ. Three children remain hospitalized.
The children and ministry staff piled eight to 12 passengers on cardboard-box sleds at about 4 a.m., then went down a hill in quick succession.
“The sleds struck rocks, a light pole and each other,” police said.
A sign posted on the hill prohibited sledding. A ministry director said the group went down the wrong hill.
